Help!!!!!Not sure what to do?

Question

Hi there
Alright I love my job but my problem is that my co-worker is always absent. She has missed 25 days so far this year because she is apparently "Sick" (even though I have caught her lying) so now I'm doing my job plus whatever needs to be done at her job. She also comes and goes as she pleases soemtimes showing up @10am and leaving at 4PM are hours are 8 -4 M-F or later depending on the work load - we both do exactly the same tyoe of work. She has not put in 40hours a week in 7 weeks. My bosses seem to just blow it off, but it is really starting to irritate me and make me dislike coming to work. Do I have a right to be irrated?? So my problem is that I'm not sure if I should voice my feeling to my bosses of if I should just keep them to myself. Thanks for those who could help or even relate.

PS I have already spoke to her about 5 months ago cuz i found out she was missing work because of drugs and she got back on track for a little while but now I don't know what to believe

Also, if possible could some give me some ideas on how to start this conversation with my boss??

Answer 1

Your co worker and your boss only treat you like this because you let them. If you don't stand up for your rights you will always be used like a tool or a toy.

Answer 2

Sounds like shes doing the Boss, dont do her work,let her carry her own load if they come to you tell them (bosses) the truth.HEY, its DOG EAT DOG in this CRAZY World

Answer 3

report her to your boss. if she is showing up late and clocking her 8 hrs, this is called embezzelment. against the law. Prepare what you will say and be very professional. let them know that if you must do her job, also you expect to get paid for it.

Answer 4

You should either

1) stop doing her work, and let her responsibilities suffer (if possible)

2) Voice your concerns to your manager

3) let your coworker that her behavior will not be tolerated anymore

Probably should do all 3
