I have a coworker who constantly shows up late for meetings, if at all. She shows up late to group chat discussions and gives her two cents (which often goes against what someone else has already said) long after the issue has been resolved. She's a know-it-all and closes all her emails with "If you have any questions, you know where to find me!" Do we, though? You constantly aren't in your office or reachable on the messenger; when you do show up to work it isn't til mid to late afternoon. "Where to find you" is a crapshoot at all times.
For the last month plus she's been talking about setting me up to learn some new stuff to do at work but continuing to put it off. So a couple weeks ago we finally talked about it; on Friday we would get together and start working on it. I went to work that morning with the mindset there was a 50/50 chance she would just forget or get caught up in something else, so I didn't expect much to begin with. Turned out I gave her too much credit - She didn't even show up! She was offline on the messenger all day too. No indication that anything had come up, and no acknowledgement afterward. She's so unreliable and I've finally gotten exhausted of it.
I was looking forward to doing this new thing because I actually have some decent experience in it from a previous job and it's something I liked to do, but if I have to rely on her for it, I'm no longer interested.

Your coworker sounds like the insufferable know it all asskisser that all workplaces unfortunately tend to have. They do very little. Always talk shit about everyone else and how no one else does anything right. Then there are those rare (and satisfying) moments where the cracks show and their behavior shows how they know just how expendable they are to the company they have revolved their ide tity and self around. anonymous 2 hours ago
