co-worker who always call in sick?

True, it is not fair and we hate working with people who are so full of BS, especially when we come to work every day, because we want to do the "right thing'.\n\nHowever...........I was told something many years ago by a manager, that I will never forget and will share with you right now..........\n\nYou worry about you and not what every one else is doing or not doing for that matter. Make sure you come to work when you are supposed to and do the best job that YOU possibly can do. \n\nWhat your co-worker is doing is not going unoticed and what you are doing is not going unoticed. Let's see how long your co-worker will be employed versus you.

First chill out, dont start biting his head off just for not cleaning up or being a little late.  GENTLY ask him or talk to him about whats been going on in his life lately or how his days have been, could be work related, could be not feeling well, we all can't have days where we're up and about getting everything we want, done and on time............so just talk to him, its no reason to start giving him the cold shoulder unless he's out partying or "elsewhere" and coming home late.  He shouldn't be mad if you're just asking curiously about why his actions have been changing and he's not cleaning up, etc etc.  You should be just fine.  Good luck.  :)

Yes, but only after they return to work. Cannot use sickness as a reason, but can create a reason at a later date. Sad but true.

DO NOT DO HIS WORK!!!!   \n\nif someone isn't cutting it at work and you get questioned about work not getting done, then inform your supervisor of the problem.  you shouldn't have to do your work and his.  \n\nthis is coming from a managment person of many years.  your supervisor may not be aware of his slacking...all your sup may see is that the work is done. \n\nif he leaves tasks that HAVE to get done by end of day, but are his responsibility, then document this and take the documentation to your supervisor.  explain that you are not complaining, you are simply pointing out that he slacks and you're left with it.  it's unfair and if you are doing more, perhaps you should have better wages, better hours etc.  BUT like i said...don't whine and complain, managers HATE that.  we all feel like we do more than our co workers, however, if you have documentation and show it to your sup in a professional manner and it is clear that he is shirking his responsibilities, then your sup should hear you loud and clear.\n\ngood luck and take care!

Just ask her in a polite way to not wear these things. Explain to her that because you work in a close environment that they irritate your asthma more than usual. If your asthma is getting worse I would suggest you see your physician as soon as possible. There may be more going on than just this co-workers perfume.

It should be standard management policy that sick days be excused with a doctors note ect.\n\nI would not get involved in that side but I would bring it up during\nnext meeting ect as to how management does deal with calling in sick and people abusing sick policy.\n\nsome people will never grow up.\nsome need to be written up...\n\nhow can one get sick just before work always....\nnot during holidays..\nnot on weekends==\njust on mondays  fridays\n\npaydays..

Thats funny!  I am in the same exact boat.  A co-worker who is engaged but flirts with me constantly even sexually explicit flirting.\n\nMy instinct is telling me maybe she is unhappy with this dude so maybe I just need to take the next step to press the issue.

I can totally relate to what you are saying. I live with the same type of thing every day, unfortunately the person in question is my boss. Sometimes I think if I let loose one day the consequenses might just be worth it. Horrible, I know, but this kind of person can cause the most severe and aggressive frustration! My advice is to avoid him as much as possible, which is what I do with her, but should you happen to proceed with a physical confrontation I admit I would find it comforting to know that at least someone had some consequence for their constant crap behavior and maybe will think twice about it in the future.

You could go to your immediate superior or to human resources and ask them if you can get some more help in your department.  \n\nI'd not accuse this co-worker as that would reflect badly on you as well.   I'm sure they'd be more likely to get a temp or some more help if you tell them that the workload would run more streamlined and the work get done in a more timely manner.

As long as her absences are for legitimate reasons associated with her diabetes, there should not be a problem yet the employer walking a fine line to discrimination.  They have a right to ask for supporting documentation to support that the absence was due to her illness (doctors appointments, treatment, Dr. recommended rest/time off), as long as they are consistent with their treatment of their employees.  Is it standard practice for this employer to analyze ALL employees on a FMLA?  If so, there is nothing your friend can do put keep good records/documentation.  \n\nIf your friend feels she is being singled out and harassed and treated differently from other co-workers, plus the practice of reevaluating the approved FMLA is not standard practice for the company - she might want to seek legal advice.  Another option is for her to tell her employer to go F-themselves and to look for an employer that treats her with more respect.

I would imagine it is legal.  Some companies require a doctor's note if you miss more than one day of work.  As far as disclosing specific medical information, I would say your friend is not required to disclose anything she is not comfortable sharing.  If she feels she is being treated unfairly, she can contact the Dept. of Labor and discuss it with them.

Yes they do have an illness that makes them think they are ill all the time. It's a form of obsessive behaviour and is a mental illness.

Report this to your immediate supervisor verbally and in writing. Use words like "profanity", "hostile workplace", "sexual harassment", "neglect", and "elder abuse".\n\nAsk the patient's family to advocate on her behalf regarding a set bedtime and to not have those employees in her wing.\n\nRequest that the guy has his shift and wing changed so that you do not have to work with him.\n\nGood Luck! This seems like a pretty bad situation for everyone involved. I hope everything works out.
