I am a sallary employee as I spoke of before. Lately I have been getting woke up and called in to work time after time to fill in for a certain employee, another manager. Well a few times I can understand but this guy is really starting to cause me to have to work an unfair amount for free. While he is still getting paid. Would you look for a new job or would you confront this person and tell them to step up. This guy does not work under me he is my equal on another shift. I don't feel its my duty or responsibility to do this but I don't see it being done by the higher ups. I have either got to get a raise to cover the amount of overtime I've been putting in or work out a deal where I get time off later for the extra time I'm putting in. Tell me what you would do I need advice.

You don't want my advice, you could end up in jail for assault!

I'd tell the person to "step up"....but that's just me.

It's okay every once in while....but constantly?! I don't think so!

My advice, if you want it, is to address the issue with this person to give them a chance to buck up. If no resolution after that, then go over their head and advise his/her supervisor that there is a issue that needs to be addressed. This way you have given the person a chance to do what is right. Maybe they have a good reason for missing a lot of work recently (sick family member, crack habit, recent lobotomy, ect.).

I feel you should always give a co-worker at least 1 chance to get their sh*t tight. If they fail do straighten up after that, then it's on them!!!!

Hmm might need to get rid of this post my boss found out I have a site and wants to visit. LOL

I can feel your pain. I am salary too and feel I put in to many hours already for what I make. So I sure wouldnt put up with that. Its good to be a team player but there is a limit.

I am feeling your pain, M4ck. We gotta work to feed the family and pay for that Titan
