[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is a coworker that keeps getting confused, forgets everything, and doesn’t seem to understand when people try to help her. I end up having to my work, her work, and attempt to teach her how to do her work(though she never gets it.) I am breaking under the stress and my boss just says they haven’t come up with a solution yet, though it has been like this since I started working with her in September. [/quote]

OP, it's possible your coworker has a disability that is causing the confusion.  If that is the case, your boss needs to be careful because there are some legal issues.   Aside from that, your boss cannot discuss with you any action she is taking with regard to your coworker b/c it is none of your business.

While I don't think it was appropriate for your boss to suggest therapy, I do think that you need to take a step back.  Instead of going to your boss and complaining about your coworker, let your boss know that some assignments will be done late because you are assisting your coworker.

You need to make this less about your coworker and more about getting either additional assistance or fewer assignments.  [/quote]
