How to Deal with Lazy Coworkers

We all have people who work in our office that don't carry their load. They leave it up to someone else to pick up their slack. You are fed up and you are not going to take it anymore. So here's what you do.

Things You'll Need

• A reliable witness
• Documentation

Instructions

1. First you have to let those people know that you will no longer allow them to slack off and leave you with all the work. You should give them the common courtesy to allow them to fix their behavior before going to their supervisor.

2. If they do not shape up, you should go to their supervisor. Ask that the supervisor have someone observe them, so that it doesn't look like your just causing a scene or causing a problem.

3. If you feel like nothing is being done go above the supervisors head and always keep documentation of your prior steps.

4. If nothing is being done you have two options. Option one you can just give up and be miserable and start to slack off yourself which may cause you to be fired soon or later. Option 2 is you could look for another job.
