why are u even doing his work for him?i would have played the game
I tried to stop covering his duty week tasks since they were not my responsibility, just as he had claimed earlier. But business kept chasing, and my boss pushed the work to me, even for things he have left untouched before going on leave.
When it was my turn, he clearly delayed work by replying last minute with more questions to stall until I returned. He never took ownership and often shifted blame to me. Sometimes business chased him directly, but he ignored them, so they came to me. When I forwarded the emails, he had the audacity to question me, even though he was already on copy. I was fed up, and I replied with my reasons and said that I shall stop forwarding emails to him.
My boss also admitted to me that the team was not happy with what I was doing it. And my action of forwarding business email to the team, kind of spoil everyone on business expectation of responding. Truth is, business just wanted updates when the rest of the team ignored them, business will often reached out to me and lamented no one in the team respond to them apart from me, as usual.
When I resigned, I timed it so my notice started while he was on leave. Even though I sent the handover list early, he ignored it until my third-last day. No regrets, really, DLLM.
