Have you ever had a time when you had to deal with a coworker who lacked accountability? This individual always has an excuse when issues come up with their work and they are always pointing the finger at other people. Any advice? What sucks is this person is a part of my group but doesn’t report to me.

I've had to deal with people like that. They seem to turn up in any organization. Nothing is ever really their responsibility or their fault, and if something goes wrong, or just doesn't get done, they're always ducking accountability. If you can't do anything about them, the best approach is to just keep your distance from them as best you can.

Trust me, I REALLY wish I could keep my distance. What’s sad is that this person has been with the company for YEARS and I doubt that he’d be forced out because of his behavior. Privilege is a nice card to have in your back pocket.

Sometimes I wish I could. Believe me. I wish I could.

I know the type. It's really frustrating to deal with, especially when you can't do much about it because they're not a direct report. I'd just focus on my work and try to avoid them. I'm guessing management will eventually tire of the excuses and get rid of them.

The sad part about it is that I think management won’t tire of the antics. They’ve been around for a while and are so engrained in the company I don’t think they’d be pushed out.
