I am at the point where I just feel defeated. I am on a team of three a one colleague has been out since the middle of January and i think they’re coming back in July. They’re great to work with.
Their work has essentially been split in half between me and the this coworker. Just to keep it simple the third coworker is horrible. They have secretly worked two jobs before, constantly fake work off their phone by using the instant message app on their phone and even lied about having to take their family member to the hospital to get out of stuff.
The pattern of their work ethic is still the same and leaves me doing roughly the work of what I feel to be like 2.5 people. They never finish what they’re asked and people come to me. I have it documented they try to talk to him and work with him first.
The supervisor has been trying to get the to step up and it’s very hard to fire, do pips etc here. Now they’re saying it’s because someone is sick in their family who lives in a different state and it’s hard to focus at work.
I think they will be going on leave soon. I just feel tired and I understand life happens but we have had other people as well who were on leave and i had to step up. I feel like i am a constant and it’s unfair to me. I also feel bitter because my review for 2025 was meeting most of what is expected of me even though i was told i exceeded expectations and it’s just because of how much they can allot. I do understand that but i feel like i am a constant here and im at the point where im financially frustrated as i am doing the job of 2.5 people.
What would be a professional way to address this and say that i feel it’s only fair im compensated for all the covering i am doing.
