If your boss wants you to fix their shit, that's what you do. But I'd make sure my name went on their stories along with time spent. Ultimately someone will pay attention and notice they are a waste of payroll. Or search for another job.
Not our boss, their boss. We're basically helping because of the spirit of the team.
They will not get fired and I don't think that they getting fired would be good, I just want for them to learn about the system they work on and have more testing on their part. I want to work on my system, because I like it, only wanting to help when it's needed, not when it's not a good job on anothers team part.
If you are doing their job, why would they bother? What does your boss have to say about it? After all, his budget is paying for headcount that isn't working on his objectives — which presumably results in a lower bonus payment. That's who approves your time and that's who decides what you work on. That other manager should be going through your manager with his requests at a minimum instead of to you.
