Is there a good way to tell my lazy coworker to start pulling their own weight? I'm getting pretty enraged at having to pick up their slack.

What kind of lazy coworker are you dealing with:
Cordless - only works for 2 hours
E.T. - always wants to go home
Kit Kat - always taking a break
Muffler - always exhausted
Seaweed - just floats around all day
Sensor light - only works if someone walks past
Wheelbarrow - only works when pushed

In claims is there such a thing as a lazy coworker dont we all have 3 times too much work to do in 8 hours or is that just WC claims

As long as you are picking up their slack they have no incentive to stop being lazy.

Well, this sounds like a peer, is that the case OP? If it is, you’re going to have to do the adult thing – it’s called feedback. Give it.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day.

Any recommendations?

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?
