[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For some reason this OP reminds me of a co-worker I had who would never cover for anyone ever.  I was in charge of scheduling for a year, and she drove me completely crazy.  She never asked anything of anyone other than what was explicitly defined in her contract, but she refused to pick up extra days when people were out for maternity leaves or cancer treatments, wouldn't adjust shifts by an hour so someone could attend something that was important to them or take an exam on a certain day, wouldn't change a clinic day months in advance so someone could go to a conference, etc. etc.  
It was tough for everyone, but I felt like it was tough on her as well.  It meant that she could never have children (and she never did), would have to quit her job if she got seriously ill, and could not attend or speak at anything that took place inside her given hours.  Her rigidity about never giving or receiving help hindered everyone.

We can all accomplish a lot more if people will be flexible and just give and take.  [/quote]

Yes, this reminds me of a (former) coworker who would refuse to answer interns' questions if she wasn't immediately supervising that intern. I remember watching her turn away from an intern without answering after the poor guy had inquired where the bathroom might be.[/quote]

Ha!
