If you caught a co-worker sleeping on the job... - Page 4

**Bugeater** · 07-17-2006, 10:25 PM

Would you tell your boss about it? Even if the guy was on thin ice already and would most likely get fired for it which would result in an increased workload (temporarily) for you?

I don't know, I'm torn about this. I sure didn't miss this kind of bs the seven years I worked on my own, I hate working with dumb****s.

No, but then again I'm not one of those pricks who has to go around sticking their nose in other peoples business.

You could rat him out and do 100% of the workload as opposed to the present 60-70%, plus carry all the responsibility and take all the blame if something goes wrong all for the same pay, or keep your mouth shut and mind your own business. You've never taken a shortcut at work, right? Was never a few minutes late from lunch, posted on the Planet, etc.? Be on your way Ned Flanders.

I think when I'm outside in the 95 degree heat working and this jackass is inside napping in the A/C getting paid the same amount of money as me does make it my business.

I have to say I'm shocked at some of these responses. I can understand those who say to keep my mouth shut, but I can't believe some are actually trying to justify this guy's actions.

ck_IN · 07-18-2006, 08:45 AM

I wouldn't say anything. If this guy is that close already and he's catnapping then it's just a matter of time before he gets nailed on his own. No sense for you to get involved.

I caught one of my guys , dozing off yesterday. Our AC was out...it was very hot...I yelled boo....then told him to walk it off. He got mean...so I told him he wakes up grumpy..... Later I told him that it happens to eveyone sometimes....Shit happens. He wan't really ASLEEP just dozing off....

I wasn't present the whole time and was outside for the rest, but as I stated earlier by the amount of work he got done I have to think it was more than a catnap or dozing off, he had to be sleeping for the better part of the four hours he was clocked in.

At the place where I work there is an kid who falls asleep almost every day. Someone did point this out to the boss, who didn't really do anything, he just thought it was a mix of funny and pathetic. Eventually someone brought in a video camera and taped this over the course of several days. Funny stuff.

Accidentally dozing off if you are really tired is one thing, intentionally sleeping just to pass the time is something else.

i once had a boss who did massive amounts of speed and to come down he would eat pills and smoke dope(in the office) then pass out about 11-3.
contractors would come in to do buis. and solidify bids,he was such a dick id just send them right on in.

he didnt care for that.

Not only is the guy more well rested than you, he's apparently smarter than you.

**morphius** · 07-18-2006, 09:02 AM

I'd drop a large book right behind him and laugh my ass off when he fell out of his chair. Damn, its been a long time since I have had to do that to someone.

Now that's hard to argue with, but if he was actually smarter than me he wouldn't be living in a boarding house and driving a POS car at the age of 50.

**Iowanian** · 07-18-2006, 09:10 AM

Is someone, posting on chiefsplanet from work really going to have the balls to snitch on someone for sleeping?

I say, stay out of it. If the person is worthless, he'll hang himself soon enough.

I caught saw a coworker dose off the other day and walked up behind them and gave a loud "Get to WORK!".....just to eff with them.

Slap his desk with a book, bang a trashcan.....draw a pencil thin marker moustache on him.......

I worry about getting my work done and let everyone else be responsible for their own. When it affects me, I bring it up with them, and not their sup unless I can't make progress....and I've never had to do that.

**Lzen** · 07-18-2006, 09:12 AM

What kind of work do you do that one guy is inside in the AC while the other is outside in the heat?

If my coworker wasn't pulling his fair share of the workload, it would wear on me and eventually I would have to say something. I don't care if you're screwing off when there is no work. That's all fine. But if I'm having to do more just to cover your ass, that shit ain't right. And who cares if you have to do more when he gets fired. In the long run, it will be better because they'll hire someone who does his/her work.

Yeah... you're so much better than him just because you have more materialistic things...

Never judge a book by it's cover.
The guy could be rich or have more going for himself than you think.

Besides... don't hate on him because he slept while your dumbass was outside working in 95 degree temps. It's your dumbass fault you didn't wake him up to come and help you out. Now you want an excuse to play victim when all you had to do was wake him up in the first place.

Now if he declined to help after waking up, then that's another story but to kick someone in the nutts when they're down goeas against man rule #1.
