How should we handle coworker and department manager who party together?

I am familiar with your work-environment, so I am somewhat aware of the potential risks this co-worker is putting people at.

If she makes an inexcusable mistake while on duty, and impaired, lives are at stake, even more so than ones "job". To not report such a problem, is almost as bad as being guilty for what she does when working. Potentially speaking, her being any sort of impaired while working, can do unnecessary harm to patients. To permit this to go unreported is irresponsible at best. You need to see a bigger picture. By not reporting her, she continues to think that her behavior is tolerable, and that she is "special".

As for your Department Manager, she is promoting bad morale, as heard in your "vent" here, to say the least.

Some would say,"what she does on her own time, and with whom, is none of your business". As another poster here pointed out, You are not being paid to do this Co-worker's work on top of your own. If they "party" irresponsibly, to the point that the quality of work impairs the quality of "Care" at your facility, measures should be taken to rectify the situation. Ignoring things that you know are wrong, is like putting your head in the sand and saying,"nothing is wrong", and THAT is just cowardly B/S!

You cannot do anything unless the boss were your friend or relative, if you feel unfair and not justice you only depress yourself and not happy all the time, just ignore them and do your own job, if you think your future will be blocked because the department manager only takes care of his favored workers, you should go find another job.

in my view, i does no longer pass in with a litany of courtroom circumstances. If this coworker isn't your supervisor, then do no longer problem approximately it. in the event that they the final option you in front of others, that is something you are able to need to show out. Correction would desire to basically be from a supervisor and completed in inner maximum. they could be violating good employment prepare via doing it out interior the open. i could only checklist those issues interior the form my supervisor approached me approximately. maximum of them are actually not oblivious to the suck-ups, brown-nosers, and wannabes. in the event that they're "tattling" on you, I wager maximum of that's ignored, particularly issues like rejecting canines interior the restrictions. Managers are actually not stupid.

I would let the dept manager know. Are you getting the other employees pay ans well as your own while you do their job and yours? No?

It doesn't matter who they hang out with-it doesn't excuse irresponsible behavior!

Vent all you want, just don't let your boss know why you are venting. Whats goes around comes around some day, so in other words, mind your own business.
