And I would try my best to accommodate and to make sure that that person can process their emotions.
Now, that is limited to a certain period of time.
I actually can't really tell how long it's been, but this person... Okay, so she said that Lina was still not really doing any work in February and she posted this about a month and a half ago.
So in this situation, it sounds like Lina has not been picking up work for a few weeks now.
So I would say in the situation where it's been a few weeks, this colleague clearly isn't recovering emotionally.
It is 100% the team leader's responsibility to navigate this.
The person who wrote the post should not have had to go to HR to raise this.
ideally in a situation the team leader would have handled it well and i don't think the team leader handled it well because what the team leader ended up doing is pushing more work to other people which then puts pressure on other colleagues which is not fair i completely agree with her sentiment with what the poster is saying like the fact that i now have to pick up more work i have to work more hours and i don't get any credit for it because it's technically all lena's work i well first of all first of all if i'm getting more work i better get credit for it right so
If I'm doing Lina's work, I should be able to get that credit.
Why is Lina still getting the credit?
Yeah, it doesn't matter if she's going through something.
If she's not doing the work, she shouldn't get the credit for it.
Like everyone should extend empathy towards her and everyone should understand that right now she can't do work, but it should be widely recognized that because she's not doing work, someone else's.
So that's the first thing.
If you are picking up someone else's work, you should absolutely get credit for it.
But secondly, the team leader, instead of pushing more work to other people to let Lina...
grieve her relationship in peace, I think that the team leader should have just pushed back on some deadlines if needed.
I just, sometimes when I'm working, and this is clearly a corporate job, right?
Behind the desk, I'm not saving any lives.
I'm saving PDFs.
