Conflict Boss and Friend


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.

hey, well if you want the girl to be really punished for not working then dont bring it to the attention of your boss. because if you do that, the boss will say something to her and then she will realize that her job is on the line. your probably thinking "how is that a bad thing"? well its a bad thing because then she will pick up the pace and start doing a lot more around there. still dont get how thats a bad thing? well what im saying is that if you do more work then her and i mean a lot more work then her, like a noticeable amount, then your boss with notice that shes not working basically at all and will fire her. it`s going to suck to have to work double the amount, but seriosuly who wants to work with someone that doesn`t pull there weight.

If she is at work, she needs to be WORKING, not STUDYING. 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.

If it is a big problem, complain to the boss. Let him know exactly what goes on while his back is turned.
