I've been working my arse off the last two weeks (as have colleagues sitting around me) whilst one other has spent most of his time - to quote someone who sits behind him - "doing fuck all" and surfing the internet. This is after having two weeks off to boot, one of which was due to "stress".
I'm a contractor, so I get paid a lot more than the permies, so it's not a case of 'He's being paid to sit around and do nothing' for me, but more a case of him being happy to let everybody else pick up the slack that he should be contributing with, and then have the tenacity to moan when he does get given something to do. :mad:
We already have. Consistently. But like everything, it's all politics in our place, getting something done at a managerial level is a nightmare.
Nah, he was off for a week with a headache ... only went to the doctor's on Friday (seriously, if I had a headache for a day I'd be down there first thing) and the doctor diagnosed it as "stress related"
The ridiculous thing is that the guy's workload isn't as heavy as other people's, but he gets incredibly uptight and irate when any additional work comes his way, ignoring the fact that, ya know, he's paid to do it
