Lazy colleague
2 Answers
I have a colleague who's always telling everyone how "busy" she is, but actually does b***** all. Our boss knows but does nothing about it. Any idea what I can do? It's a very demoralising situation for everyone else in the office

Or - you could say how busy you are - and say how lucky she is not being so busy then again she would have to justify herself - not easy if she really isn't busy.
Although people cope with work in different ways, something you find easy she might feel pressured and stressed out by. Sometimes I can be doing something and it will all fall into place nice and quickly other times everything is awkward and that stresses me - she may have the same thing - and no one really knows everything someone else is doing!
