About this episode

Kathi and Katherine discuss how to handle situations where a coworker's poor work habits negatively impact your own performance.

In this episode of My Crazy Office, Kathi and Katherine address a very frustrating situation: what do you do when a coworker’s poor work habits make YOU look bad? They start with a question from someone who relies on the data from a coworker to do her job. The data she receives is always late, and often incomplete. Kathi and Katherine discuss how to manage a situation where someone else’s poor work could make you look bad.
