Ok I have the co-worker that was just "sick" for a week. She said she had a "virus". Since she came back to work Monday, she has put in 14hrs and can not show up on time. Today she will not be in until 1:30PM (our hours are the same 8-4 or later-depending on the work load) My problem is I can Not work like this, our jobs a closely knit together and I need someone that is more reliable to work with. Do I bring this up to my bosses or not?? PS She has missed 20days of work this year alone and has been late God knows how many times..My bosses have not said a thing to her, but it's starting to make me dis-like my job cuz she keeps getting away with it...How do I go on..??? Please help>>>

Hello....I would meet with the supervisor or boss and talk about it. Don't leave without being told what approach will be taken so you know where you stand. On the other hand, have you ever considered working for yourself? I am going to email you. Good luck.

Ok here is how I would handle the situation:
1. I cannot stress how important it is to document everything
2. If you are having issues getting work done b/c of this person then you MUST DOCUMENT everything. When I say everything I mean time, date, who requested this work, why could it not get done etc.
3. Never, ever complain, it makes you look bad...just keep tabs on your own, that way when you do need to make a complain, it will be legit b/c it will be documented.
4. Trust that someone is also keeping tabs on this person. One day, the bosses will know.
5. Remeber why you are there, you are there to make money!! Don't let ANYONE ruin that for you...it is not worth it.
Good luck!

Office polotics suck, that is why I am running for President, www.auctionfindit.com.
My advice would be that you somehow make it known to upper management that you are doing the majority of the work. Try to turn the fact that you are making up for someone elses lack of help by being twice as productive.
You may want to also start looking for alternative employment, as it is easier to find another job when you are already employed. That way if the situation does not right itself, and the right opportunity arrives you can jump on it.

It could be that your bosses have noticed and are just waiting for the right time to confront her. Is there anyone you can talk to about it without looking like your being a big baby? You might try asking your boss for help that you can rely on to make it easier to do your job. You need to be diplomatic in chosing your words though. Good luck

i would think by now your supervisors are aware of her absenteeism and tardiness. maybe u could speak 2 her about it. maybe she's trying 2 get fired, maybe she hates her job. was she like this when she 1st started? i'd be upset 2 if i were u. if all else fails, speak 2 a supervisor and c what they say. maybe she'll get a warning and straighten up. u don't wanna be the cause of someone losing there job, but hey...the work load shouldn't fall on u all the time either.

How many times are you going to post this question???
Do your job and do it well. Who cares what she says or does.

You shouldn't continue to do her work. Say something to your superiors.
