Be transparent and pull them to the side afterwards to discuss the issue. Don't handle it in front of the client though. I have learned the results of standing your ground versus a teammate in the same room as the client usually leads them to lose faith in the team as a whole.

Option 1-
Shank them.
Option-
Ignore them. Eventually everyone recognizes petty and will see that person for who they are.

I found out last night that a senior copywriter at my agency who does little follow-up and passes off work to others (read: me) to handle when there are questions from team members…was recently promoted to copy supervisor.

Trust me when I say that this person can’t supervise putting toothpaste on a toothbrush. Must be nice to be liked by the right people.

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
