I job share with someone who admittedly I cannot stand. She's rude, passive aggressive, and deliberately obstructs me from doing my work (e.g. saving things on her own work area instead of a share drive so I don't have access, refusing to send me key information via email, the list goes on). She's well known across the organisation - NHS Trust - for being awkward and if anyone pulls her up she uses the excuse of having a previous traumatic brain injury which has left her with epilepsy (which is true but has minimal impact on her day to day work). As such, she's been allowed to pretty much make up her own job as she goes along - bearing in mind we are in an 8a position and the majority of work that she does is Band 3/4 at the most. I have raised this repeatedly with our manager who assured me it would be dealt with... until the individual went on long-term sick.
Because she does so little of the actual job, I haven't been asked to pick up much in her absence - two key tasks that take maybe 2-3 hours a week. However, as she doesn't do most of the job I've already been spending over and over my hours on evenings, weekends, days off, to get the job done. Boss is aware - doesn't give a shit, I ended up in tears on a call last week because of the stress and pressure. Now our General Manager has gone off sick too because of it, he wasn't listened to when raising issues with our boss either.
She's now back and working 75% of her hours this week (full-time hours). I have managed to hand over one of the tasks with a fight but she's point blank refused to do the other. Because our boss thinks he's doing me a favour by taking it off me he's given it to a Band 4 to do - an 8a task. I know she can't do it and plus it's time critical for first thing in the morning this week so I often work late on Tuesdays to get it done whereas she shouldn't and won't. So of course this week I have to pick it up again!
I don't think IABU to raise it but need advice on how not to play absolute holy hell with her and him. I'm already a woman on the edge with stress levels (I have MH issues to start with, plus ASD and have already been off one day last week after my 'nervous breakdown - I jest of course). I have a new job to move into - same role, different manager and no job share - but no start date as yet.
