I would talk to him. Say hey it's not cool because you have to pick up the slack. If he still does it, record the dates and talk to your manager
Have you reported this to your supervisor? They're stealing time from the company.
It can be frustrating to work alongside a coworker who is not contributing their fair share, especially when it results in you having to work harder to pick up the slack. Here are some steps you can take:
Document the issue: Keep a record of the times when your coworker is signing off and sleeping on the clock. Make note of how it impacts your workload and productivity.
Talk to your coworker: Have a private conversation with your coworker and express your concerns. Be clear about how their behavior is impacting your work and productivity. Ask if there is anything you can do to help them stay focused and productive during their shift.
Talk to your supervisor: If the issue continues, speak to your supervisor or manager. Present your documented evidence and explain how your coworker's behavior is affecting your work. Ask for their support and advice on how to address the issue.
Stay focused on your work: While it can be tempting to focus on your coworker's behavior, try to stay focused on your own work and responsibilities. Continue to do your best and take pride in your work.
Look for solutions: Consider brainstorming solutions with your supervisor or manager. For example, you could suggest implementing a check-in system to ensure that your coworker is staying on task, or you could ask for additional support to help you manage your workload.
Remember to approach the situation with professionalism and empathy. Your coworker may be going through a tough time and could benefit from your support and understanding. However, it's important to ensure that everyone is pulling their weight and contributing to the team's success.
This sounds unfair. The thought that you'll need to work harder since your co worker is busy sleeping, makes my blood boil. You are in one team and you need to work as a team. Everyone is expected by the management to do their part since you all have the same salary. If I experience this kind of laziness in the team,I will gladly escalate this to our supervisor for proper coaching.
The only way to let someone go who doesn’t do any work is to provide evidence of it. They can’t do anything without that really. So talk to your colleagues and ask them if they would like to back you up in a complaint to your manager about the lazy one. It’s much more believable if it’s not just you complaining.
Our QCs could tell how long you were on not ready or unavailable while clocked in. Doesn't your company doesn't give you updates on your performances? I'm sure they have a record of work/tickets. If I were you, I'd just take pictures of your coworker asleep on the job and report it anonymously and just keep minding your own business.
I'd speak up about it. In the end, it's work, and they're making yours harder.
