Hello, NC as very outing.
I work in a small company in an admin role. Part of my role is providing cover for the Front of House when they are away, lunch cover, preplanned and booked meetings etc and two hours in the AM before their shift start (they work late shift)
Front of house must be manned at all times. V busy with phones and visitors sometimes.
Colleague has had issues since starting , late for work constantly (meaning I cover longer) late back from lunch, going to meetings with no preplan so I am covering without knowing and puts me behind on work I was planning to do etc. I am very organised so find it hard when my planned day changes when it could have been managed better (understand sometimes there is emergencies, last minute crop ups etc, all fine)
I have explained to colleague multiple times the knock on effect of lateness and last minute cover and how it disrupts me. Explained that I like to be organised etc. They give excuses but say yep yep understand , won't happen again.
Manager also aware of issues and has addressed them with colleague.
Today I am just at the end of my teather. Colleague asked for swap shift. I agreed , it impacts my home life but it's ok occasionally I don't mind doing the favour. I still had to come in early for a meeting so essentially doing both shifts.
They came in late , no apology for it then just kept swanning off. So they asked for my shift then was late for it anyway and put me behind set up for my meeting. I came out of my meeting and front house not being manned as off doing a non urgent task.
I am just fed up of it.
I have kept my head down the rest of the day cracking on and they have asked me what's up. I should say but I am just fed up repeating as it makes no difference or will just be an excuse .
What can I do? It's really starting to make me dislike my role (I love everything else and want to stay here) but we are suppose to be a team and work together and it doesn't feel that way now .
Or am I overreacting? Suggestions on other ways the approach ?
