when it rains it pours
I'm seriously freaking out right now
I've had several things going wrong lately anyway but now.....
Some of you might remember the post from a few weeks ago about a co-worker who doesn't do anything and screws stuff up if she does touch it. Well the woman I work closest with is leaving our department and I was under the impression that they would hire someone new (which I was excited about). But instead they've decided to bring the girl who doesn't do anything in to work with me. I do not have time to fix her mistakes all day and I can't stand talking to her. She doesn't ever look at you when you talk to her and it's really obvious she's not listening. She just says "yeah...ok." after you finish saying something.
I had absolutely no idea that was coming. I'm still in shock.
Re: when it rains it pours
Ouch. Are you in charge of training her?
Try this:
Before you ask her to do something, ask her if she knows how to do it. If she says yes, ask her to talk you through it. Having her run down the processes for you will be very telling about what she actually knows. That way, it's not you nagging so much as it is her taking ownership for what she does and does not know.
That's helpful. I'll definitely try it.
The worst is when she asks me how to do something then cuts me off while I'm explaining it and says "ohhh... yeah I got it now." And still does it wrong.
