Tell me about a time when you had to work with someone who was not doing his/her job. How did you handle the situation? And what would you have done differently, knowing what you know now?
Working with someone who doesn't do their job.

I had an experience with a friend whom I recommended to be hired under a company where I'm the team manager but he was using the privilege of being my friend to neglect his job.
I had to keep on reminding him all the time to do this job but he still kept on delaying the deadline of doing his job. This eventually got him sacked after the management was tired of his work attitude.

If I encounter a co-worker not doing his/her job, I'll let him/her know my feeling directly and hope s(he) improves. If nothing happens, I would report the situation to his/her supervisor.
The people i worked with last year where the type who never took their jobs seriously, they where always giving excuses or have one issue or the other, i ended up doing most of their jobs for them. There was a time i even bought food for them on a regular basis, thinking it would motivate them. This is one action i regret. Given the opportunity i would not do that again.
Some times there may be cases where you just have to add some else work to your own due to unforeseen event most especially when it something that deals with health
