I work with one too! Thing is, if I did or said the things my Idiot CoWorker (IC) does I would be gone--what's worse? This IC makes more than I do, has less degrees and experience, comes in late, leaves early and takes 2hr lunches and THEN takes credit for MY work! IC doesnt want to do something so the project/work gets pushed on to me because the person we now report to knows I will get it done. IC only does 3 things...and does them poorly. ARRRRRRGGGGGGG I have gone to HR, I have gone to who we report to, several times. (I do keep a paper trail as well on all this). Nothing gets fixed.
IC acts like they know what is going on but they don't...they ask me questions on stuff they should know. One thing though...I used to report to IC and they changed it so now we are on the same level and report to someone else--let me note that the change in reporting was NOT because of me. The guy who was IC's mgr told me he wanted to work in a different dept and I knew it was coming way before the issues with IC became so turbulent. I'm looking for another job. Never in my life have I ever had to work with someone like that! And what is so sad? People like that are the ones that move up in this world and get all the breaks.
