We've got one like that... sits around and bitches to the manager that other people aren't doing anything, when she's spending upwards of 2 hours a day chatting to the same manager. I come in late one morning (a week after my heart operation) and got bawled out, another colleague comes in late daily, fiddles his flexi time and gets away with it. It's office politics and it will never ever go away until the top management do something about it. Trouble is, they never do anything until it's another manager being involved or it becomes an issue that would interest the Union, the HSE or HR. Then you can guarantee that despite previous suggestions, the shit will sink.
