I have a job where I work with 4 other people on rotation (only two people working per shift). 3 of them I absolutely love working with, we get on well, we share the work equally and even on the toughest of shifts its never two bad. Then there is the other guy, he's lazy, sexist, racist and horrible to be around. He's been there around 7/8 months, long enough to know what he's doing yet I still feel like when I work with him I have to babysit him. The majority of the time I end up doing half of his jobs as well as mine. I am constantly telling him how to do things and he ignores me, he does some things that are absolute no nos during the shift due to health and safety, I've said to him if he gets caught doing them then he will get in trouble, he just shrugs and carries on doing it.
Me and the other guys are 100% team players, we help each other out to make the shift easier, he will deliberately go out of his way not to help (even going as far as polishing all the door knobs at our work the other day to get out of helping me with a big job I was struggling to finish on my own).
He tells the most disgusting stories which I don't want to listen to, he's racist and very sexist. I leave most shifts
Sorry long moan there, basically it's hell working with him. Two of my colleagues are leaving very soon, which will just leave me with this guy and one other person, it means I will pretty much be working with him constantly, the thought of this is filling me with dread, I want to quit. Is this a stupid reason to quit my job?
Management know about all of this but there's not much they can really do.
