My current coworker has very little, if any, responsibilities. My manager is aware of the issue and has let the issue linger for months on end, resulting in me being the one to pick up the slack for all of her work, per my managers direction.



My manager has scheduled time this week to talk about responsibilities, and expects the rest of the team to “call it like we see it,” calling her out for her lack of responsibilities.



I see this approach as passing the buck and not sure how to respond to the request, since I feel it’s not my responsibility to have this kind of manager/employee conversation?? How can I best position/prepare myself for this conversation, or share my uncomfortable-ness with my manager?
