Question Posted Tuesday February 20 2007, 12:22 am
I went to work and I walked in and there was books laying around that had not been picked up and the person i was working with had been at work for 30 minutes before i did. ( I work in the Library- work study) So i was going to put them up later but i didn't feel like putting them up right then and then the boss came over and told me to put them up and to check over there and stuff like i was slacking off. Now i might have been but i'm, saying if he was going to make anybody put them up it shold have just as well been her s well as me right? She had not done anything since she had been at work.

I think I would make that clear to her next time she gets mad that you aren't doing HER work fast enough. Because, yes, that should have been her work, since you picked up the books earlier.
Your best bet in the situation, is to go ahead and pick up her slack. I know that it sucks, but your extra efforts won't go unnoticed, where as her lack of effort will. She is being paid to do a job that she isn't doing. Nobody likes to pay somebody for nothing.
It is possible that your boss has already noticed these things, and told you to put up the books because he knows he can rely on you to get the job done.
