Expectations in the workplace
I've come across a slightly annoying issue is work, there are 4 people in the team I work with and we all do varied shifts. One person keeps taking time off during their long shift and I am the one who always has to cover it and no one else is asked to do so.
I have refused to cover Monday so instead of asking someone else to do it, nothing has been arranged, no one will be there and I will be landed in the **** yet again.
Am I being petty and should I just come in? Or do I stand my ground and await the aggro?

Happens all the time in transport industry and if one thing i learned is don't let your employer take the p1ss.You don't mind helping out now and again if the company has a problem.But give an inch and they will take a mile until one day you suddenly realise how did i get stuck with this and you are the one always getting the short straw,nip it the bud.Appears you done your fair Share of covering for someone else,if the others can't take a turn they will continue to rely on you solely.I'd be having some words with whoever is in charge.

Sounds like you have been more than helpful, l would point out that you have bailed them out on more than one occasion, but you have other commitments outside of work so can't keep doing it.
At the end of the day management need to address the issue of your colleague constantly taking days off

I do that all the time, always take the crap days off work, some other muppet will step in and do it.... And there is nothing to stop you doing the same thing to them.
There is no such thing as a team these days, its one for all and all for one.
Last year I was working 4 days a week, been paid over time for 2 of them, and on holiday for 3 of them..... 7 days a week pay, with 2 days at double time and 3 days off.... Everyone complained because its "not fair" blah blah blah. But thats the rules, some people are just better than playing the system than others.

It's not a case of growing some *****, I just thought i may have been coming across very petty.
I work with utter bellends who would see you drown quicker than help which is why I generally do it for the fella but it's becoming a constant thing when I'm on my earlier shift and he's on his lates.
Surprisingly the company pays well for overtime but no one seems to want it, so neither do I next week.

Most people would just say no like the rest of your team already do.
The fact you started a thread asking what to do points somewhat to a lack of gentleman vegetables.
The lack of ***** is probably Why your boss asks you everytime, it's because youre a soft touch and can obviously be bullied.
