And I mean constantly… at least a week per month! Not that age matters but she’s a young adult ~21 and has been with the company for around 9months. She is part of two teams at work, but prefers one team, and strays to the other side even when she’s meant to be working on the other If that makes sense?
for background…. She is part of a wealthy family (who are clients of ours) and has made it clear that she ‘does not need the money’ in the sense that her wages are ‘play’ money, and she also gets an allowance from her partner monthly!
nobody’s financial situation is anything to do with me, I understand that! BUT…. She is having such a detrimental effect on our workload. Managers just seem to accept it… but I have worked myself to the bone the last 2 days and am done in knowing she will now be off the rest of the week, and having to work 2 people’s jobs!
coupled with the sickness she is late EVERYDAY,
something I’ve bought up every single time she’s late… but I just get told ‘it’s noted’ but nothing is done about it. She costs us at least an hour every week in lateness and yet everyone else busts a ball to be on time (early most of the time!).
she has 2 managers as she works cross dept, but none of which want to pursue any complaints…. Do I go to HR myself?
id like to add that if someone is genuinely sick I get it, it can’t be helped, but there’s patterns and preventable in my opinion. I have no problem with someone being off sick, I myself was off sick last year for around 4 weeks, but this was supported by a drs note, and due to a mental breakdown (nothing to do with work). These sickness episodes are for around a week a time, and always trivial….
