Tell me the person that you are trying to get fired.

You really don't (and shouldn't) do anything. But there is no harm in setting the stage, throwing bombs and enjoying the show.
I work with someone who has been in the company for less than two years, trained them up and now they think they know it all.

I've tried telling them to follow procedures, due to internal and external factors. Such as if you're ill or move departments it makes life easier for the next person who does the tasks.

They make mistakes, take shortcuts and are lazy. They spend a lot of their time walking to other offices/talking/gossiping, not doing a lot of work. Is a prankster and bully one of the other office workers in their office.

Due to them changing departments their workload has "increased" meaning I'm having to complete their unfinished work. When there should be a handover period where they complete the work to a suitable standard. Their workmanship is awful.

It doesn't help that they spend most of their time in the office without supervision from their boss, which is a story for another day.

I'm at a point where I'm just collecting evidence for the future.

So many options:

# Tell the senior boss.

# Change company procedures so that they will then be forced to follow procedures that I have put in place, that is an improvement on current company procedures.

# Anonymous whistle-blow internally/externally. I believe since their time at company it may have cost the company and client up to $ 10k.

Drop bombs without looking like you are out for blood.

Mention little things in casual conversations with higher ups.

The internal whistleblowing sounds like a good option but be sure the info doesn't go beyond the company and make sure it's truly anonymous.
