How do you deal with coworkers that don't do anything?

I work at a small company and my coworker does not do all that much but she is paid more and really good friends with the boss. Now, I get along with my boss to but what should i do about the other coworker?How do you deal with coworkers that don't do anything?
DO AS MUCH WORK OR MORE IF YOU WANT TO GET MORE MONEY. SHOW THE BOSS WHAT YOU ARE WORTH. YOUR COWORKER DON'T WORRY ABOUT THEM WORRY ABOUT YOUR SELF THAT IS NOT BEING SELFISH. IF THAT COWORKER IS ASKING YOU TO DO WORK FOR THEM TELL THEM NO WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TELL THE BOSS THAT YOU WON'T DO THE WORK THAT THEY ARE TO BE DOING I THINK NOT.How do you deal with coworkers that don't do anything?
Every time you have a problem because of this lazy person not doing there job. Tell the boss in a non blaming way.
I do what I think I should do and leave the rest. Boss asks say '; My co worker seems to have some time maybe she can do that';. Be nice but don't take bs.
explain this to the boss and have video evidence or work less then them and blame bad results on her.
i have the same problem and the boss doesn't seem to care. if you're loaded down ask your co-worker if they could ';help'; you complete this, and then this, and then this. Try to keep them busy. Or do more work while you are in the same vicinty as them. most people who don't work at work will still do something once they realize someone is hanging out in the vicinity.
I work hard to make myself look real good compared to the other worker.
Keep your eyes on your own work - and I mean that in a nice way. For your own good, ignore the other person. Work hard at your own tasks, keep up your own higher standards and be happy with your accomplishments, that way, at the end of the day you can leave work at work and enjoy your outside life. Make sure you get credit for the good things you do, so your boss knows how skilled you are, and don't take on the other slacker's tasks. Some people are just sliding by, doing as little as they can. I've worked with lots of people like that, and it's not worth getting yourself stressed. (Been there, done that, not worth it!)
I would just keep doing my job. The boss is close to the lazy one, so it might take them a little longer to see their actions. If you tell you will cause problems for yourself. I would just do your job in overdrive. The boss will you and start to look at the actions of the lazy one closer.
do not worry about your other coworker ,you worry about preforming your job to the best of your ability and do not bad mouth this person to the boss you will sound like an ineffective child pointing a blaming finger and complaining,if you do have an issue and it affects producutivity then nuetrally state your issue to your boss and offer solutions ,if you do get into a face to face conflict with this person no matter how bad you wanna curse or yell or accuse or confront ,do not , tell the person you will not tolerate disrespect and must walk away and when this person can talk to you objectively and professionally you can, to come talk to you then ,then you tell boss only about how you handled this confrontation ,not adding personal opinions and ask what is the correct way to respond,what would you do if you were me? and if the other person comes up and tells you off or insults you in front off boss, you dont acknowledge the person instead turn to boss and ask see what I must deal with , how am I supposed to respond to that? this will save you from being disciplined even if boss sides with wrong person you can file a grievance with human resources and if the boss tries to ruin your record by writing you up or firing you any unemployment agency or whoever you protest what happened to will judge it a wrongful termination because clearly there was no personality conflict it was the lazy person who was a problem, and sometimes bosses see you are working harder and appreciate the fact that you are one of the few employees who understands we must all work with children at one time or another in their lives and your boss can count on you not to become part of their problems (whinig employess)blaming someone regardless if they are guilty or not is ineffective ,be to busy to notice the slacker and dont give a damn about the loser that is not worth all the negative feelings you cause your self thinking about it ,these people are sometimes their own worst enemies and it may not seem soon enough but one day this person will move on to another position because *** kissing can only get you so far
