Narrative:
The south departure controller climbed their aircraft Y to 15;000' right into my aircraft X who was in my arrival corridor; airspace that I own 7;000' and above. Because of the vast airspace I was looking at; the tags were overlapped and I didn't see that aircraft Y was climbing through 5;000' (standard departure altitude off ord) and wasn't aware of this until aircraft X reported responding to an RA.we're working a lot of overtime every week; but people need to pay attention more. These planes were pointed right at each other and it makes me uneasy when there's so little going on and someone creates a situation in which TCAS basically saves a near mid-air. I don't know if it was because it's their 6th day; it's an early shift or a combination of both; that person needs to not be working planes if they're so tired or out of it that something like this can happen.
