I’m on a two person team. Problem is, my coworker can’t do his work on time. I do all the administrative stuff on the team (task management/spreadsheet stuff) and still manage to complete all my assigned work the same day. My coworker cannot complete his assigned work in a timely manner. I know because it’s my job to assign him his share of work.
The other day, he was recognized in our 600 person meeting for “going above and beyond” when he is typically going below and beneath. I’m livid and suspect favoritism is a big part of it. What can I do?
I am consistently rated outstanding and work hard to help people both within and outside my department. Recognizing someone who is a poor performer seems to degrade me by omission.
