Hi everyone
I work in a small self-organized team within a much larger organization.
For the most part we are doing fairly well as a team. However, it has become apparent that one of the team members is bending the rules to their advantage whenever possible. Among other things, they are finding excuses (and creating opportunities) to go on as many business trips as possible, even though this is not part of their primary (or even secondary) role in the team. And to make matters worse, they have been arranging their trips to maximize the amount of days that they can take off as part of the company-wide compensation scheme. E.g. taking flights on the weekends and rather creative accounting of overtime during the business trips. And that has resulted in some hilarious compensation requests from them: (almost) one day of paid leave for every day spent on a business trip.
Any advice on how to deal with this situation? Unfortunately we do not exactly have a supervisor that we could discuss this with. And the well-traveled colleague in question succesfully ignores all our hints to focus on their tasks instead of traveling the world on company time&money and issuing outrageous compensation demands.
