Her financial situation is not great, so she's doing it out of need rather than want and I've already had to have a talk with her about her behaviour.
I feel it comes from resentment but obviously don't really know.
She's flaky and forgetful and we work with volunteers and I feel she puts them off with her abrasive personality.
There's been some health and safety issues arising from her forgetfulness and impulsive behaviour.
Obviously, no volunteer has to put up with it for absolutely no pay and I feel everyone should be having a good time.
I need to talk to our senior manager and ask what protection they will put in place if she becomes not up to the job. We've already spoken about a few issues and she didn't seem surprised with what I said but it was finally resolved with me having a really firm word with my manager and saying I won't be putting up with her over critical attitude towards me or anyone else working for us. She constantly nit picks but there's nothing wrong with anything anyone does. It just seems to be to try and give the impression that the place can't run without her.
I feel I need to say that someone needs to keep an eye on the situation but also feel it's an occupational health type thing rather than me having to negotiate with her because she possibly can't cope and it MIGHT be age related.
It's really annoying for me as after many, many years of working in a completely different industry, I feel I've found my true calling but these issues are spoiling it somewhat.
Am I within my rights to ask the company to take responsibility for the situation and consider the issues of her continuing to work? I feel a bit horrible about it.
