I just have to respond to this one line about it being over the line that the company's president was informed along with HR. More than one person is not doing their job. It amazes me that the employee can not make the upper level management feel resentful but it is ok that the affected employees are? In many, many studies it has been shown that most problems and lack of problem-solving lie with upper management.

This type of ignoring of the situation does not help the frustration of the employees that are coming in to work and taking care of their jobs AND the absentees work as well.

I do however like your suggestion of asking the supervisor what they want prioritized. But to not allow some venting of frustration in regards to the absent employee is setting up a hostile environment.
