An employee became increasingly frustrated with a colleague who repeatedly claims to be overwhelmed with work, leaving the rest of the team to pick up the slack. Sharing his workplace experience in a Reddit post, the user, u/Illustrious-Survey2, claimed that the colleague had been receiving what he considered preferential treatment for some time.
According to the user, team members had repeatedly raised concerns about the coworker’s lack of collaboration, initiative, and competence. Yet their manager apparently continued to defend him and give him the benefit of the doubt.
