Just this really..
Colleague in our small and incredibly busy admin team strode into work late most days. This is no exaggeration. She strolls in often 15 or 20 minutes late, no apologies or anything.. Proceeds to chat, make a coffee, put her lunch in the fridge then finally logs on about 9.30am.
Our team is without proper management at the moment. Our most recent manager was very firm about lateness, he insisted that latecomers need to make up the time. But he left unexpectedly quite recently and I believe this colleague might be taking the piss because she knows there's no manager in place yet to replace him.
We have a couple of senior band 4s on the team but they seem unable or unwilling to address this colleague's persists lateness.
It's starting to cause more work for the rest of us having to scramble round covering her duties almost every morning.
What can we do? We don't think our band 4 supervisors want to address it.
