[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she is using her leave, you just need to get over it. If it's affecting her performance, then you need to talk to her boss.[/quote]

No. Not really.

[b]OP's coworker is enjoying special consideration while OP covers. [/b]That's BS.

If your manager doesn't say anything, it means he/she is just hiding from it and hoping it doesn't get called out or 100% clueless. Neither s a solution or OK.

Running any size department, solo, for a third of a day, everyday, will absolutely place additional burden on OP. You're gonna tell me you've never been in a room where a manager walks in and assgns new crap? Guess who catches those new 'things' when the colleague is home playing with their kid? I've caught files that take 25 hours to close just because one morning I was puttng my lunch in the fridge at the same time my manager was.

Lunatic thought it was friendly banter. Now I just avoid him as best I can.[/quote]
Taking your own PTO =/= special consideration 
Hope that helps.[/quote]

But, WEE TODD, they aren't takng PTO.

Hope that helps![/quote]

DP. OP never said her coworker isn’t using her PTO for all of this.[/quote]

They never said they were taking PTO. And if they were this would be a short term situation since she doesn't have indefinite PTO.

OP is getting screwed. I just wouldn't touch anything that comes in that would normally be hers. No way my work load increases to accomodate her out of office life.[/quote]

She said her co-worker is "taking days off."  Unless she's going AWOL, she is taking PTO, or leave without pay, either of which would be approved.

She's being judgmental because she didn't have the same scheduling struggles that her co-worker does when her kids were young (because she was privileged enough to not need to work). If the co-worker was getting this time off approved for reasons OP deemed "worthy," she wouldn't be resentful.

OP, I sympathize with your situation if your workload is being burdened by a co-worker being on leave. But you should direct your focus to management, as many others have articulated. [/quote]

Any time someone brings up 'privilege' you know they have lost the argument.

Which part of this comment was incorrect?  I'll wait.[/quote]
