Re: advice?

[(Anonymous)]

You just can't help some people. She ought to be grateful to have a job in this market, and if she's such an idiot she can't see everyone else working their asses off while she screws around... /shrug

But if you're feeling saintly, you could try giving her a heads up. Something like, "Hey, I know things seem pretty lax around here while Boss is away, but Boss will be back in _____ and he/she's pretty strict about people keeping up with their workload. It can get really competitive, because a lot of people want a job here and he only keeps people who pull their own weight. [short pause] How are you settling in?"

If she says she's fine, nod and say, "Okay, well I noticed that X, Y and Z are behind schedule and we could really use your help with _____." Mention your own tasklist and what you plan to get done by way of emphasizing that everyone else is on the ball.

If you feel you can exert any sort of authority, give her specific tasks and set deadlines. "X needs to be done by the end of Tuesday" followed by "Have you finished X?" on Tuesday afternoon.

If she takes it badly, shrug and wait for her ass to be fired.

OP

This is really solid advice, thank you! Definitely something I can at least try.
