Y’all how can I continue to work with this dumb ass lady?

It is not for some reason. Despite being incompetent I am sure the higher ups know she is still doing her job. It is simple. She got connections.

All you need to do is mind your business and if you want this job get on with it despite the toxic work environment. Or wait until you get another job.

This woman ain't gonna go nowhere. Remember that. Lack of skills? The company clearly doesn't mind.

That's good news. Then be blunt and say you are doing your part and unable to help. If she needs support speak to your boss. Make it simple and direct if she tries to push more work on to you.

Oh I have definitely been doing that. Even had a meeting with my direct boss about setting rules and specific duties but this lady still does it every day and I don’t wanna keep going to my boss like a little tattle tail but I’m just sitting waiting for the day she gets fired and I know it’s soon cuz she’s shitting bricks. She CC the boss on every email to make it look like she’s doing stuff but doesn’t even have the basic knowledge of our company we work for. Like simple shit. I’m sooooo over it

I went through something similar at my old job for years, and even though I did exactly as you the agency never fired my dumb *ss coworker. It was easier for my supervisor to express concern & send out "reminders" about everyone's specific duties & responsibilities instead of actually holding my coworker accountable. Because at the end of the day, mgmt just wanted the work to get done & didn't care who did it.

So I just started including my supervisor on ALL communications with my coworker. I would even summarize verbal discussions & email it to them both under the guise of keeping it for reference. I was always professional but I would continuously point out that we had the same training & years in the field so the majority of her questions & mistakes were "concerning". I stopped helping her on things I could get away with & would direct her to tools to get the necessary info.

I also started forcing her to resolve issues that she would normally elevate to me whenever she would hit a roadblock. I would always frame it as a "learning experience" & get my supervisors cosign before doing it.

That sh*t drove her crazy because now her full incompetence was on display because I made sure to cc my supervisor whenever her half-ass efforts went left. My supervisor could no longer ignore the issue because there was too much documentation & she finally threatened to put my coworker on a performance improvement plan. Of course she quit because she knew her dumb*ss would eventually get fired.

So yeah, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.
