Aibu to approach manager about colleagues productivity

I work as a team and work on a rota.

Productivity is low (on a sliding scale) for certain colleagues.

I’ve asked to move because they talk too much and also I can’t concentrate. Plus some colleagues are on their phones constantly. I’ve been moved which is great.

It’s not in my head that colleagues aren’t doing as much work. Ive done a quick report and saw Y colleague has raised 1/3 of the jobs that me and X have raised. We accept incoming calls (we aren’t a call centre), have an inbox we manage and raise jobs for colleagues.

I’ve been self employed for many years. This job is £24k so somewhat entry level job.

Management have made a big rota change recently and I’ve never had a 121. So I’m hoping they are aware of the issues and making changes that way.

Got my 121 next week.

@Oblomov21

I completely disagree with everyone. The only issue is how you word it. Why not complain that a colleague is underperforming if it affects you?

You have 30 tasks to do as a team. 10 each. 1 barely does 5. So you always have the pressure of 15 tasks on your plate. Even if you do manage or don't manage to do all 15, the pressure is always there.

EgSk:
"From a manager’s prospective, I’ve had employees come to me with this exact issue . They tell me as if I don’t already know/ not already handling it . It’s a bit annoying however I understand their frustrations ."

Sometimes these things take time for the manager to correct, but more likely the manager is actually poor, and isn't addressing it at all.

Yes it’s most likely already being looked at.

I just need to word it correctly that’s all….. or just not word it….

Eg I really like the new rota system, I think it will help me complete tasks a lot quicker….
