Reposting here as well because I need any and all advice I can get! Hi everybody! I’m dealing with a weird issue at work and I’ve never had to deal with something like this before and came here for help! (I am posting on mobile) I am (22f) and these coworkers are the same age as me, they are close siblings and I am usually not one to make a fuss about much at work other than serious issues that are brought to my attention, I’ve been employed for 2+ years at this company. I am one of the last remaining “seniors” who will be working this summer and need to deal with this before it escalates. I do want to mention before continuing that I have severe adhd that I was medicated for for 18 years and have been working extremely hard to work without medication because I have absolutely no personality no matter what medication I take for it.
Recently there have been solidified positions put into place and there have been 1$-2$ raises that come with the tittles and I am in one of those positions now, the coworkers mentioned were not eligible for the positions due to their hours and they both seem to be upset about this.Mind you my tasks now HEAVILY outweigh my other coworkers, almost 20 for me and 5 for others.
To explain to people who don’t work in others homes, we are trained to work as if there are invisible barriers between sections of a home and do (high up dusting first, everything in between, to mopping floors) before moving to the next area . They have been doing the first two steps but have been missing multiple items or not doing things to the company standard and going into MY assigned areas. We also cannot leave more than 30 minutes early or 10 minutes late without approval otherwise it’s a write up for anyone in my position.
I admit I struggle with the physical paperwork task due to the book usually being buried in equipment in a bag that is regularly removed from the home before I need it. And I struggle with checking in on people as I am time blind when my hands are busy. I usually am fine at these tasks but when I work with them I am worried about even more than what I need to be and become forgetful.
Today I worked with one and they sped through the entire house not finishing things completely or correctly. We had 2.5 hrs in a super clean house today, So I let them do everything they wanted how they wanted. The homes assigned were clean,quick, and easy so this wasn’t an extreme challenge. I could have done it on my own. They have been texting each other complaining about having to do the entire houses when working with me even though they are not following protocol nor do they have to do this.
Any advice on how to handle this situation? Do I need to be extremely direct about this or is there another way? I don’t want people I work with every other day to be resentful towards me but they are not doing what they are supposed to and are doing more than they need at the same time? I don’t want them overworking themselves but they won’t slow down and do things properly:(
