NHS Band 8a non-clinical manager providing operational support to Senior Leadership Teams. I've posted previously about issues with a colleague that I was job sharing with and now moving into a new role where I don't think I'll be kept very busy due to imbalances in workload across different teams.
This relates again to my first issue. I'm in a period of transition where I'm finishing up work for one department (where I was overloaded, stressed, etc.) to another where I haven't been given much to do as yet. First role is job shared with a woman who is one of the biggest pains in the arse I have ever met in my life. Rude, obstructive, and just generally refuses to help anyone but herself - and it's definitely not just me, she's got the reputation all across the Trust. Picks and chooses what she wants to do under her role yet never gets pulled up on her bad behaviour - it's passed off as 'just the way she is'. (She's also a union rep which I feel has an impact...)
There's a report that I've been responsible for every month since it was implemented which is a beast to write - it can stretch to 30+ plus pages sometimes, it goes to the Board, and it's my job to write it so that all clinical/ops management need to do is have a quick glance and ratify it. It's the most important task we do in our role. Our boss had asked my colleague to pick it up this month, as a priority, and I'd even produced the template based on last month's and just highlighted where it needed updating.
AND....SHE HASN'T DONE IT. NO REASON, RHYME OR EXCUSE, JUST NOT DONE. Now she's gone on leave and it's due Friday. So I've had the Director of Nursing beg me to complete it (since we have barely any senior staff at work at present due to sickness she's doing more than her fair share) and I've agreed since I don't have too much on right now (before anyone suggests, I know I could have said no)
But I don't know how to approach the fact that I want this raised with the colleague who should have done it as a serious matter. My boss will say he'll deal with it, but he won't, and not sure the DoN will have the balls to ask him to deal with it. I know I should just let it go since I'm moving on for good but I'll still work indirectly with this woman and I've had enough of her bad behaviour and incompetence impacting other people!
Sorry....rant over... and thanks if you've made it this far!
