Absolutely Livid Day

Remember lazy girl that I complained about a few posts back? Well, she is on vacation in Tennessee this week. For the team I belong to, it is our standard to try and help out others when they are gone; it's not expected of us to do all of their work, but to try and maintain it. Mainly for the clients, but also so not one person is left behind.

My whole team has been behind since November...between team building, meetings and holidays, we are all struggling. So, in this instance it is a little frustrating to have to work on not only your work, but a coworker's as well.

None of us have ever really helped out lazy girl before because, out of the 6 of us, she usually has the least amount of work. This time we are delving into her work and, oh. my. god. She is so freaking behind it is not even funny. We are not maintaining her new work, we are freaking doing her old shit! Each one of us had some of her work today and we each ran into several instances where she was lazy about her work - taking 2-4 weeks to make a return phone call or not properly looking at the records to make sure we have everything. And who has to do all of this work that should have been done a month ago? US! I could go to Tennessee and fucking strangle her. She's known for MONTHS that she was going on vacation and she made no attempt to get herself caught up. I can guarantee you she just thought, "well, the others will deal with it." UGH.

Oh and another thing I am pissed about is my supervisor did not properly communicate to us who was doing what work of the lazy girl's. She, of course, is also on vacation this week, so we can't even bring all of this to her attention. We had a quick 5 min. meeting to discuss that she and lazy girl would be gone but that's it. All of the sudden we're all getting tons of extra work that we were not expecting. I think we are going to bring it up to my supervisor when she gets back next week. Not sure if it's proper of us, but obviously my supervisor is not paying attention to lazy girl's work and since the rest of us are having to make up for it, we think she should know.

I know there are these types of people in every job, but seriously? Have some fucking respect for your coworkers. Maybe you are a lazy ass and don't care about your job and have a horrible work ethic, but the rest of us don't. I know for sure I have lost tons of respect for her and that I never want her touching my work when I am gone.
