Started my job in September and I love my job. It's a completely new venture in something different and has great career prospects. I was on my own as it was a new team and it was difficult juggling the work just me and my manager so they took on someone else. Same job role as myself. Same pay band etc. She seemed nice enough but it was very clear from the start she was there for the money rather than the want to do well or progress. However my boss was concerned also and raised it with our area manager as her attitude to work was definitely lacking and they said we needed to give her atleast 3 months..... 6 weeks on and I am ready to kill her!
She has become unbearable. She is young lacks life experience and is very mouthy. She sits on her phone all day and has no interest in learning anything. As a result I am doing the work still for both of us. I have been grinning and bearing it as I honestly thought she wouldn't be there for much longer that she would be sacked.
Last week it all kicked off. She was extremely disrespectful to my boss and told him to sit in the corner and shut up! He said nothing to her she then proceeded to tell him how she thought he had an unbearable personality and if he ever met her husband he would be better of keeping his mouth shut as to be frank he would hate him. He just took it! Within half hour he left and went home early and came in the next day and confided she had very much upset him. He was even tearful. So I told her straight when she came in how rude and disrespectful she was and she did apologize.
However I am so upset to find out today that in her monthly meeting she has been commended on her work and her efforts and how she is the future of our business how she is going to go far and is excelling! I was shocked as to be frank she is the polar opposite. I did ask my boss afterward in private if this was true to which he confirmed! I said but I don't understand you wanted to fire her last week? She doesn't do her work? She is rude and refuses to do anything you ask of her? The only thing she is capable of is answering a phone! Her behaviour is getting worse not better! Her attitude stinks. He moans she is mentally draining and leaves early all the time and he slags her off at any given opportunity.
I am at loss. Deflated and I am so upset at the prospect of having to carry her lazy ass for the foreseeable future. My boss basically leaves or works from home and leaves me to it now. He has basically said she is better than nobody. Personally I can't see it. I have told him she is a financial drain on our business and she does not deliver. She is rude and makes the environment uncomfortable and not a I've place to be! Am I being unreasonable. He knows my feelings. I am actually starting to think of requesting a transfer to a different team? Especially now she thinks she is the bloody bees.knees
