Coworker criticizes worker who has been doing all of her work for her, prompting them to no longer help her: 'Okay I'll focus entirely on my work'

Balancing customer service with administrative duties is always a difficult thing to work around—and that's without having to do your coworker's job too.

One example of this is in plenty of retail locations, even as a manager, you'll be expected to help out on the floor with customers during busy times, on top of staying caught up with administrative duties. This is all well and good, except when you enter into a consistently busy period and the constant onslaught of customers and foot traffic keeps you from ever sitting down at the computer to work—that and your brain is so fried from talking to customers and solving their problems that it's almost impossible to switch gears and do your tasks when you have a minute.

It's always the least productive coworkers who have the most to say about what other workers are doing, even if the people they're criticizing get three times as much work done as them.

This older coworker repeatedly criticized how this worker spent her downtime between tasks, while herself spending plenty of time on the phone taking personal calls and having non-work related conversations. This prompted the worker to no longer help the coworker with her tasks, leaving her to manage her fair share of the workload.
