Unmotivated teammate - unfair?

Dear everyone,

Hope you are all well. I was wondering advise what I should do. 

I have a nice and friendly colleague in HR department, I have a HR manager. My colleague and I share same KPI ( there is team KPI), we must work on tasks such as staff handbook, employee engagement survey analysis together , however based on my experience working with her, she is always very late, never turn up to meeting on time, always have a lot of excuses to delay the work or do the work , moods always fluctuating and I find her unprofessional , I tried nice ways to communicate with her during working with her, there was no progress, my manager knows however I have raised the problems with him subjectively but I think he is not going to do anything about it (or observe right now) .

I always initiate doing the projects and find it bit unfair for me to initiate all the time, can anyone suggest what I should have going forward? 

Thank you in advance,

Paula

  • Hi everyone, hope your Easter is going well. Thought I should update on this, overall the situation hasn’t changed much, her attitude is better I would say. I have a question seeking everyone’s help: with my colleague as she has been delegating by my manager this complicated employee relation case which isn’t easy and now the person has resigned, my manager has nominated her the small success you can get up to £250, not sure if it’s confirmed yet. To me personally I think it’s unfair because of she’s always late, not doing much at work , slacking and dramatic although this is better. However based on this , do you think I have been misjudging, what’s my managers motivate if he actually likes her, because if you think I misjudge I’ll correct my mind set but if its some politics I’ll bear that in mind.  I wanted to do ER Case before, my colleague wanted to do payroll , I have asked my manager that I wanted to do ER before he said there wasn’t any then he delegated this to my colleague, maybe because she has more experience,  I don’t want do payroll but delegated to me. My question is do I speak to my manager about this , because payroll recognised this as main thing to do but cannot have mistakes and will not get rewarded, but this is my KPI. Can you suggest what should I do going forward. If this is the unfair system then I’ll take advantage too. I am not sure if my manager notices I’m impatient with more tasks and quite ambitious and he can’t handle people too ambitious therefore not delegating. For the ER case I’ve grabbed the opportunity to attend the PIP meeting as he was sick, I’ve done one disciplinary hearing  as I grabbed the chances too. Do you think this was ok?
