Hello everyone, I am new to these forums. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about how to deal with co-workers who are completely incompetent? I work a 4 man shift in which two of us are pretty much "normal" and the other two are completely off the wagon.
One guy spends the entire shift telling us how he has been a CIA operative, worked for the FBI, NSA, ICE, US Marshal Service, and so on, all the while he is completely unable to perform the simplest of tasks. This same person also tells us that we are not doing the job properly all the time and writes report after report about how things are not being done per SOP. My boss knows this person is completely nuts, but they have been friends for over 20 years and has actually told me that he knows this person could not function in any other job.
The second guy is a state certified mental case, so not much explanation is necessary, but once again my boss has told me specifically that he knows he would not be able to make it in any other job and won't fire him.
I realize that this just seems like a rant, but I really do have a question/point. I have kept my mouth shut for months, but these guys are single-handedly making the security department, and the two of us who actually do our job, look completely ridiculous. I have only touched the surface of all that these guys do, but you get the point. What the hell should I do here? I am sure that I am not the only person who deals with this, so what do you all do?
