How to I say this gently?
So my coworker has been here since the end of March and she still depends on me waaayyy too much. She constantly asks me questions and sometimes I just want to scream "figure it out!". She bugs me on my lunch break, all the time. It's to the point where I feel like I can't even call in sick, maybe she would be forced to figure it out though. She is a nice girl and i don't want to hurt her feelings but she needs to try to figure things out before asking me. I feel like it's been long enough that she shouldn't be depending on me this much, any ideas on how to nicely tell her?
Re: How to I say this gently?
Maybe you can kind of quiz her. Say something like let me see how you do XYZ process and I will correct your steps if you do something wrong.
With out new hires I try not to give them the answer right away. I'll ask a question like do you know why you are doing this? I don't like that they just memorize the steps, they need to know the why before the how. I'm not quite sure what you do at work, so I can't give you specific advice on the situation.
As far as the lunch time thing goes, I tell people that I will talk to them after lunch. They are more than welcome to discuss anything other than work with me during that time but any client related matter is off limits.
