How do you handle a lazy teammate

[cherry123]

The workplace is one place that needs teamwork so people are always grouped to work as team mates. How would you handle your own teammate if the person is lazy

I will talk to the person. I will start by telling him about my day at work. About the number of tickets/assigned tasks that I have accomplished today. And then I will ask how was his day.

The best way to handle a lazy teammate is by reporting to the authority so that he won't be dragging you behind

Very nice. You are straight forward with that action. I am the type of person who ask the person first and give lesson first as his chance. If no improvement, I will report him.

That's true. It is good to have a conversation with the person first and if he or she remains adamant, we should report him

Definitely, such a lazy person needs to be reported to help instill discipline in the worker in case such a person is just pretending

I will talk to him/her first and ask why he/she is lazy. If he/she keeps behaving that way, I will consult my supervisor.

If I have this co-worker like this, he or she will receive a big blow of confrontation. It is not my personality to be working with this kind of person.

Well, some people don't fancy this method they see it as a kind of insult but you just have to do what you got to do.

Everybody in the team should be carry along. Lapses in one worker should not reflected in the generality of the team.

But if one person become lazy it will affect others too. because such a person might be delaying the team work

 

[Niyi Briggs]

When I try to cover him up on several occasions and there is no positive change on his part, I would let it be so that the whole world can see.

 

[cherry123]

Yes no need to cover up a lazy person you would be doing more harm than good. They need to be exposed

 

[eldavis]

I think if you have tried all your possible best to try change them by discussing with them but there is still no positive change, the best thing You should do is to report such persons to your superiors.

 

[cherry123]

The lazy people need to be exposed to the management no eed to cover up a lazy person or else you would be doing all the work you would be working alone.

I think you need to warn them first. If they do not want to improve then you can go ahead and report them to the authority.

That is true
Giving a warning to them will help to know that you have companies about it to them before.

That is a good approach. We can able to use the reverse psychology to our co-worker. I can still remember working in one of the local government agencies in my city. Some of them do their jobs so slow like a snail.

 

[Bisolami]

I so much dislike it when someone is being slow especially at work. It is seriously annoying.

[Springtime]

Every member in a team has his/her assigned work to do. I will ask the "lazy" person how s(he) is progressing regarding his/her work. I think this will embarrass him/her if s(he) has achieved nothing. If there is no improvement in his/her attitude, I'll report the problem to the team leader.
