Frustrated with laziness of colleagues

[Cinammonroll]

It's in a care home setting. We had a meeting about it just a few days ago where it was raised, and I'm a senior carer so I do ask people if they've done xyz, or just do it myself a lot of the time.
So many people out for various fag breaks as well as their actual break.
I was on a morning shift yesterday 8-2. The handover was late so we got started at 8:10. Then they had to go out for a fag break before they got started, so didn't start until 8:20.
So much paperwork is not filled in properly.
So many carers not brushing residents' teeth.
A lot of residents not having weekly showers (a lot of the time they're very short staffed and busy so I know it's not easy) but they've always got time for cigarette breaks.
It's a strange system where you can be a senior on one shift and not on another, so I'm not always the senior carer.
I always make sure everything is done.
The manager does regular audits and sees things are not being done by certain staff anyway, hence the meeting.
It's just frustrating really, and laziness.
Does anyone else have this at work?

It sounds like a management issue. In my work setting people are not allowed to go out for a cigarette outside of their allotted breaks. When I worked in care (children’s) before each shift staff were told who they would be overseeing that day and then we had to fill out a recording system which included things like toothbrushing so that management could see what had been done.

There will always be workers who take liberties and try to dodge chores at work unless management ensure that rules and systems are in place to make it obvious when people are shirking their duties.

"Cigarette breaks" are a thing of the past, surely? Are they getting paid for this time that they aren't working?

My work is different but the issues similar - I have resolved not to let it bug me for my own emotional state! I go in, work hard, go above and beyond as far as I'm comfortable with (e.g. Will stay late / pick up work for others if doing that means I will walk away with nothing to worry about but not to prop others up) and try not to let what others are doing or how they are behaving influence me! I don't have any authority though so that probably helps
