I [24M] have worked with my friend [24F] for three months. She stays up all night gaming and comes to work exhausted, avoiding basic tasks like phone calls or digital paperwork. She also tends to disappear during shifts, leaving me to handle e-store deliveries alone.
It’s affecting her personal life too—she lost her ID and bank card months ago but won't replace them, and she complains about the cost of food delivery while refusing to use our company’s free sports/hobby stipend. Whenever I try to help or be positive, she just zones out on Instagram showing me memes.
I’ve struggled with gaming myself and want to be supportive, but I’m exhausted from being her "cheerleader." Since she works more hours than I do, I don't want to sound like her boss, but her avoidance is draining me. How do I encourage her to get it together without ruining the friendship?
TL;DR: My [24F] friend/coworker is neglecting her work and "life admin" due to gaming and lack of sleep. I [24M] am tired of being her motivator while she zones out or disappears during tasks.
