and put in my dept. I am not the boss or supervisor. This person seems to rush through things, picks and chooses which jobs to do (leaves the crap for me), and gets an attitude if I try to nicely make suggestions or requests of her. I am really aggravated about this. I've went to the supervisor, but not much is being done. What can I do, if anything to improve this problem? It puts me in a bad mood everyday.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
befriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :) Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

Maybe she picks what she is able to do. Also, if you do not step up and do the work rather than complain all the time, how will anyone else know for sure what you can do? If you showed a poor attitude at some point.... Well. And perhaps it has nothing to do with you. You have no way of knowing her past; perhaps she found it hard to get the job and wants to keep it...and is too young to realize hard work isn't how most people keep jobs these days. (Unfortunately.) Show her how it's done, politely. If you are in the habit of brushing her off coz she's young or some other reason, then no wonder she seems to brush you off. That's just a different, devil's advocate way of looking at it. Hopefully you think of the improvements on your own...and view them as within your own control since it is your attitude, your mood....

Change can be difficult, whether it's an employee leaving or coming.
From what I've read, you seem to be very involved in this person's everyday duties. Pull back alittle and don't give so much of your day to watching or knowing what she is doing. If she is "screening" her duties, let her. But do not pick up the slack and do the things she passed over. You should have plenty of tasks for yourself - might not hurt to pick one that takes you away from her for periods of time. Eventually those little things will have to be done.
Stop suggesting or otherwise "training" this person. Slow down a little and let her adjust to you - not the other way around. She's finding her way, by knowing you'll do the jobs she doesn't want to do. Keep things positive, on-task, professional and going in a productive direction.
good luck...

Your supervisor needs to delegate the tasks fairly; not let the chips fall where they may. Let him/her know your feelings and that you are unhappy in the workplace. Your supervisor will be in hot water if he/she doesn't a act on this and then you quit, if his/her boss knows you complained.
By the way, if this coworker can't accept suggestions, even if they are for her benefit, stop making them. It will only cause resentment in her defensive, immature mind and make things worse.
And finally, do not sit back and wait for the situation to resolve itself. That never gets you anywhere in the real world. You have to be proactive and fight for what you want, bc it will never be handed to you.

"and gets an attitude if I try to nicely make suggestions or requests of her" ...this may be the problem. At my job at Subway, I can t even make small suggestions to those who d been there a lot less than me. I get "does it matter" and "everyone has their own way." Yeah....... It s a whole science about giving feedback and criticism. This person does not have good sportsmanship and people skills. Only request things which keep you from being able to do your job well; if they get cranky/testy, be prepared with comeback/explanation of why you had no choice but to ask them that. ONly come to them as last case resort if they have an attitude. Find your own little comfort zone. Good luck!

Do your own job as best as you can, go out of your way to help everyone but her. Leave her to do the crap jobs. Don't put up with this treatment from anyone, you are not anyones doormat. Be firm with your supervisor and say that the situation is unacceptable and needs his/her immediate attention.

It sounds like you're envious of her.
Do your job then help her complete tasks when possible.
Your company is NOT about YOU, it's about the TEAM and the bottom line-- productivity in the office. If she's not doing her job well, it's none of your business. You should do your job and help with office/team projects.

part of adjusting to a new job is to meet everyone and learn to fit in socially as well as in the work.
perhaps you should lighten up and give her some space for a while.
eventually someone will notice the situation and prompt her to try harder.
in the meantime, getting yourself upset about it will only draw bad attention in your direction.

Be patient and calm, she will eventually tired out with the way she goes about doing things. Mistakes will be created along the way and will be visible to your bosses..Then its your turn to laugh...
