So here I am, another Friday night I should be spending playing God of War or drinking my face off. Instead I am fixing numerous scripts and automation tasks that someone else had a week to complete but failed to properly write and test, so I am essentially doing their job for them to get this go-live ready.
I am not their direct supervisor, so I cannot write them up and/or fire them. They are beneath me in a de facto fashion. I let my manager know, every single time in fact (this is the fourth or fifth time this person has failed to do their job) but nothing seems to be getting done.
This person has a degree in CS. He should know better.
He's the son of some random VP, so that complicates things.
He makes at least $110k going by our scales, in an area where the average household income is far, far lower, so to me it seems like he's coasting on nepotism while the rest of us do his job for him.
And to be clear this isn't even complicated stuff. It's Powershell and yaml pushed by Ansible and Jenkins, sometimes very basic C#, pulling from git. This is like intern level shit.
Should I just ask that they be fired? Is that too harsh? I am just getting tired of feeling like I am doing half their job for them.
