[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of mistakes are these? Typographical errors, miscalculations, etc?[/quote]
Not testing things out when told to. Not informing others that things are not working. Not getting things done per a scheduled time line.

[quote=Anonymous]If you are senior and this person is below you[/quote]
This person is not my direct report. We both report to the same supervisor.

[quote=Anonymous]In addition, you should be mentoring this person[/quote]
I did this in the beginning of this person's employment. I am not this person's supervisor and I can no longer tolerate what is the equivalent of time wasting.

[quote=Anonymous]A team environment is just that and you need to keep in mind that when you undermine a team member you undermine the team.[/quote]
Yes, this person has consistently undermined the team and that is why I have always fixed the problems. I do not feel comfortable ignoring the mistakes that have been left by this person and letting someone else (like our supervisor) deal with the repercussions.

Perhaps this person need more supervision. If the person cannot stick to a time table or complete tasks then someone should step up (you or your supervisor) and ask for proof that things were done ahead of the due dates. Email and cc your boss on emails.

Has your boss discussed what s/he thinks of the situation? Does s/he find the errors not a big deal?[/quote]
