We have a trainee at the moment who is just not commited at all to the job, comes in late everyday, plays on her phone all day and winges about her homelife all the time, has no motivation and generally needs a kick up the backside.

My manager has asked if i would send an email discussing this as she needs evidence to let her go (she has taken the piss with a lot and my manager wants her gone)

The only thing is i feel uneasy about providing this evidence as she has a kid to support, but at the same time i can not stand working with her.

How would you feel about this situation.

"Needs evidence"....if the manager thinks she's crap he should HAVE the evidence and not need an email from you.

The Manager needs to sit down with her, tell her what she's doing wrong, tell her what she should be doing, and agree targets/timescales.
The evidence can only come from employees as we never directly work with our manager.

My manager has told me that she raised the issue of her lateness etc at her appraisal and she just was not interested.

The member of staff has no interest in learning - if someone appears interested i give them the time of day, but she is not interested, constantly plays on her phone and winges about her home life. She also cant get into work on time at all arriving 30 minutes late on average meaning we end up setting everything up alone.
