Re: Co-workers from hell? Anyone? :(
I was very stressed at work, my colleague and I took on the work of an entire department during a critical stage of re-structuring. We were being taken advantage of, so I formally spoke to the senior manager, backed up the verbal discussion with an email to re-cap on what we had discussed, concluding that I expected the manager would recognise the need to evaluate the situation and ensure that the work load was distributed in a fairer manner.
Make a stand, in a polite manner, back up with emails. If you don't stand up for yourselves, no-one will.
