I'll finalize the documentation with HR once I hear his side of the story.

His previous supervisor gave him a verbal warning for the same stunt in March and also documented it and sent me a copy so I'll be including that with my report.

I hate this part of being the boss. All he had to do was call me and tell me he's got two hookers tied up in his basement or any other crazy story and I would have covered for him.

Worst part, is the rest of my team is all wondering what the hell is going on with him. He's increasing their workload

We had somewhat of a similar situation. At the last minute, the person claimed they had a "problem" with something and were trying to get help. What saved us was the fact that we had documented all prior incidents.

Again, it ain't fun. You want to think the person is being honest with you and whatnot. But you realize they should at least be calling...or have someone calling for them with an update. And you also have to condiser those effected by the workload.

Well he emailed me this morning asking me where (if at all) he should report to work today. I told him to meet me where my office is. The only question I'm going to ask him is
"Where have you been?" Depending on his answer, we might have a lecture on honesty and a reminder that his job is to reduce my work and stress level, not raise it.

We also offer Psych assistance in case the job stress becomes overwhelming. I've only been a manager for 3 years, but in the 7 years before that, I've never been so stresses I couldn't make it to work with out calling for 3 days. Shit, not even a 3 day hangover...

PJ's ARE GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[severine]

I was so stressed earlier in the week with writing papers and reading assignments, and then with yesterday's excitement with my daughter, that today, I'm just going to take it easy. It's going to be a busy weekend anyway so I may as well take my break today.

When it hits the fan, the last thing you think of is work...or other obligations. On the other hand, when things moderate a bit, one of the first things I do is call wor. It's my you know what on the line and they need to know the low down.

I hope things go well for ya. Yeah, 3 days with no explanation is abit odd.

I just had my 10:00AM snack...a banana.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Sure hope your daughter is better and yeah i know how things can pile up and deadlines are always a cause for concern for PT students who HAVE many outside responsibilities - BUT someday this too will end -- KEEP YOUR GOAL -- on the front burner you can handle these things and SKIING btw is a great mental health break as is your running and biking --

cheers

Warp, make sure you drink a couple of cups of coffee and munch on either an everything bagel, some Dorrito's, or something with ALOT of garlic in it and DON'T brush before you goto your appt. You hygienist will really like it uke:

Well hopefully this will be the last post(s) about my wayward employee. I had him report to where my office is, but waited an hour before heading there, so he'd have some time to sit and think. He basically said that he got into a wicked fight with his girlfriend and needed to blow off steam, so pulled a Forest Gump, but instead of running, he just drove and drove and drove his car (good thing gas is cheap right now).

He said he was in too upset to call me or answer the phone. I asked him what would he do if he was in my shoes and his response was I should either write him up or fire him. So we had the talk about how this is not a good time to be doing stupid shit, because we just let another 300 go yesterday, with probably more to come. I also spoke to him about how there needs to be a high level of trust on my team, and if I can't trust him, we're gonna have a problem. I also highly suggested that he apologize to his co-workers for increasing their workload for the past 3 days.

So I've done the write up, and we'll see what happens right now I'm just waiting for HR to sign off on it.
