I got hired last year to work with this person who's more senior than I am just because she has been with the company longer. The thing is, lately, she keeps volunteering for additional work with out boss even if she can't handle the shared load we have alone. Most of the time, she dumps the dirty and tedious work on me.
I really don't mind but I have my own workload to worry. When I see her chatting her mouth off the phone for 30 minutes while I work to catch up, its frustrating. So this Thursday & Friday, she asked me to do 2 mundane tasks. One was to deposit 1 stinking check in the bank that she can very well do on her own. The other was to re-check everything she did to make sure it was accurate (we always check our own work...even the manager said that). And I flat-out said "NO".
Now, there's this other chick who shares the office with us. When she's asked to help out with work, she keeps saying out loud "Oh, I absolutely have NO problem doing that." She says it at least 3x without people asking her. I'm seriously doubting if I did the right thing now.
