Middle aged man at work told us at the beginning of the year that his DW was leaving him. They had only been married for a few years and totally unexpected. His DW has a good job and bought him out of the house. No DCs between them.
Although I fully accept that this is sad the man has gone off the rails. He dates different woman from an online dating site most days of the week, dabbles in illegal drugs and gives us sob stories about poor little him most days. Last week he even asked one of my colleagues to send him an email telling him to attend an urgent meeting at 7pm on a Monday night so he could use it to cancel a date??!!
My issue here is that we have to carry him at work. He is totally unreliable, makes rather serious mistakes which we have to sort out and cover for him and if there are any corners to be cut.. he is your man!
I'm getting to the point where my sympathy has totally run out. I have my own workload which is more than enough without constantly having to look over my shoulder to make sure he does what he is supposed do and dig him out of holes. I know he has been called in on several occasions and spoken to by our MD. So far to no avail. Perhaps it's the heat or maybe I'm just being unreasonable but I had enough. How do I communicate this at work without sounding totally heartless. I don't like confrontation but I so had enough. AIBU?
Thanks.
