Scrolling social media. Long lunches. Arriving late. Leaving early. “Phoning in” half-baked work. Moving slower than a sloth in a meditation retreat . . . There’s not much more annoying than a chronically lazy coworker.
It’s easy to think, “Why in the world am I working so hard, when this clown gets away with so much? Isn’t my boss paying attention?”
Of course, it’s technically not your problem to solve. It’s possible your manager is dealing with the issue and can’t talk about it.
But it’s still your problem.
Because, you know, the work.
So, what do you do? How do you deal with a lazy co-worker without picking up their slack?
