It is day three of work and

[Dirtyhip]

I already want to strangle my co-worker.  She billed out a bunch of my budget charges to the wrong indexes.  She is so useless.  Also, when she makes mistakes she gets nasty, defensive and combative with me or anyone else that tells her she made a misatake.

Did she "fill" your spot while you were gone? If so, that is useful.

If she just created messes because no one was there to supervise her (you were out), then embrace the "Not my job" mantra

It is dead in the summer, and yes she picks up my work during that time.  Should I be grateful that I have to spend twice the time to fix all her messes? 

I have complained to supervisors and they do nothing.  This is why I am thinking of adopting a new mantra and will work only my pay grade and that is very low.

Regardless of your pay grade, your job is your job (with it's responsibilities), and her job is her job, and your boss's job is his job, etc..  Don't do their work, and don't create work for them.  If "they" (whoever that might be) wanted you to do her job too, she wouldn't be needed and you could get paid more

So, my week is playing detective.  It is so hard to reconcile budgets from July 1 to now with zero info, none of her cooperation and massive mistakes.  She is absolutely horrible to work with, and should be fired.

Does she at least NOT break the hole punch? Or lose the stapler?

If she was asked to buy a stapler, she probaly would buy the wrong amount and bill to the wrong account.
