Nepotism/Favoritism

One of my coworkers is a total slacker. “Melanie” has been here long enough to know exactly what’s expected, but she avoids extra work by saying no one told her what to do. If Melanie dislikes certain tasks, she will complain to our supervisor that they are too complicated for her. Then those unpleasant duties are given to the rest of us.

One of my coworkers recently married our boss. Now everyone wonders what information they may be sharing about the rest of us. We try to avoid talking to them, but that’s hard to do because we work in a small medical clinic.
