Co-workers
|
Co-workers I think my wife blogged about this topic before. Mine is a little different. I am in a position where I share a lot of job responsibilities with one other person. There is no clear delineation of duties so it is basically a point where either the job is done and done right, or it isn't. The person I share jobs with has way lower ethical standards than I do. She has a very low work ethic. She apparently has little care about me, when I am busting my ass doing 75% of the work and making "us" look good. My boss is pretty hands off. I do think that she has a pretty realistic perspective on the difference between the jobs the two of us do. I think the gap between what she thinks we do, vs. what actually happens is greater than what she thinks. This co-worker is constantly talking about things in a very public manner that she shouldn't be. She is constantly on the phone an internet handling personal business and socializing. She has a constant parade of friends that comes down to her desk and visits. On top of this, she shows up 15-30 minutes late, takes an extra 5-15 minutes on her two breaks per day and normally takes a lunch that is 15-30 minutes longer than she is supposed to. All of this and she is putting in that she works her full 8 hours every day. She also has a habit of requesting to leave early or take off Monday or Friday or both. It never fails. If she doesn't ask off, sometimes she has a "crisis" that comes up. My boss is really nice and just allows her off as long as I am there. I am getting fed up. I am not sure if I should sit her down and just tell her how I feel and spare no feelings. Mind you I have to keep working with this person. My other choice is to talk to our boss. I don't want to come off as a complainer or tattle tell or someone that is petty. The issues I have are things that there really is not a lot of proof on.  Hmmmmmm. what to do?

I would suggest that you find something that you can do that is very subtle that is your signature... Not sure what that is... but something that makes it clear that when you do something that there's no question that it is yours... Whatever you do... make it very subtle... just so your supervisor knows the difference between your projects and your co-workers. When something is sloppy, it will stand out.

I have to agree with the clear definition of duties, make copies, and give to all parties concerned. The truth of the matter is she has the personality type that will keep taking advantage of you as long as she is allowed. This way, you will have clearer defined boundaries and expectations of what the two of you are to accomplish, without signing like a whiner. Good luck! "...Take me as you find me. All my fears and failures. Fill my life again..." From Mighty to Save
