What do you do when someone keeps on giving you their unfinished work?

I do not think it is fair for someone who should be doing a certain task to pass it on to other people. In this case, it's even way past the deadline. Being new in the organization should not be an excuse for you to accept such projects just to make a good impression. You should know your limitations too. Have you talked to your supervisor about this? I think that you should. I do not think it is fair for them to be doing this to you. However, if you keep accepting what they want you to do, it gives them the impression that they can do it to you always.

Hi First I want to say good post :) Second I work in retail and I am an asst manager. I have a woman under me who is suppose to know how to do alot of things that she does not do .. examples .. Reciving: when we have pur venders dilerering the protduct.. we are suppose to log them in the logging book and file them in the proper pedning file .. do she do it ??? noooo Do I .. yes... she is also suppose to log and sign when we do cash pick ups.. doe she .. nooooo do I fill it out .. naturally.. she is also suppose to record supplies we use for store use.. does she .. noooo .. now that issues is going to make us have a large shrinkiage when we have our invortery dome.. and its not going to look good let me tell you ... do I get pissed off you betcha .. and I complain to pur manager all the time .. this girl has got to go .. I am tired of keeping up with all the paper workand this girl thiks shes doing such a great job... she has gotten written up once .. a verbal warning already .. one more time and she is so out of there ( tapping my foot and waiting for that day) So in short no I don't think its fair .. Just my 2 cents hugs me

Well thats really fair! in my part! I do really notice most new worker their going to supper.Since when I applied a job in hospital I feel so bad and mad all the time because old worker are too bossy on you.

New comers are normally disadvantaged. If you see it in a positive way, it's a way to learn from the senior fellows.But it's frustrating when those senior ones are not nice. A strategy is.. be selective. Don't take all the job anybody throw on you. Figure out who deserves your respect, who you can learn things from. Then, take jobs from them happily and work seriously. For the crappy ones, make them feel difficult whenever they wish to throw things on you. For the others, make them feel that you are doing a favor for them, and a return of favor is expected.
