Hi all - these AIBU posts have saved my sanity on many an occasion while feeding a baby in the night so it's about time I put one out there of my own!
Basically I have a friend who is such a skiver from work! She is a doctor in a surgery and will take any opportunity to not go in - regardless of how much work it takes to fill rotas and how the rest of the team have to pick up the slack.
She is oblivious to her rapidly diminishing reputation and to be honest, with my management hat on, I'm starting to get pissed off. It is affecting the way I see her, I'm getting very judgey of her behaviour and I'm blatantly trying to avoid spending time with her while she is behaving in this way.
AIBU? Should I be trying to get to the bottom of this or should I just accept the fact that not everyone is bought up to think skiving is terrible. In my opinion paid employment means that you are paid to do something whether you enjoy it or not. Work doesn't OWE you. And as an educated adult, if you don't like your job - take control of your life and move on.
Cheers ladies!
