Sadly he is not. She was a sympathy hire and tells all sorts of lies to continue the sympathy. Every week, there is supposed new trauma in her life that makes her unable to come to work, do anything while at work, have to leave for hours on end during the workday, etc.
She was a custodian where I work. She told HR that her husband left her while pregnant with Baby #3 and she can't support herself and kids on current salary. HR put her in here with a hefty pay raise. Problem is she can barely speak English, doesn't really know her numbers or the alphabet, is too busy talking on personal calls to actually do any work which is holding up progress in the office, etc. Yesterday, I heard the boss telling someone that she will be getting an extra $500 in her paycheck for helping with some big project. However, she did nothing to help. Another person did everything. This lady was "just around" while it was going on so she gets in on the money too.
Meanwhile, I am simultaneously processing crime evidence from 3 separate Homicides that happened within less than a week of each other and don't get any acknowledgement because as he says, "that's my job to do that."
Whenever someone outside of the office tells him that I'm doing a great job and deserve some praise, he tells them, "no she's doesn't."
