I wouldn't have dreamt of doing something like that, and neither would any of the other supervisors. It's just one more reason that he should be demoted.<BR/><BR/>But Terry has failed to deal with similar problems in other team members for so long now that it's become accepted behaviour. Sad but true.<BR/><BR/>JamesUK, I already have a review scheduled with Terry and, fear not, I will be raising all of my concerns with him. Yet again. Only this time I will make it clear that he will lose me and probably a few other good team members if something isn't done soon.AggressiveAdminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727875876761850941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-38291382526481842122007-08-06T16:16:00.000+00:002007-08-06T16:16:00.000+00:00So what will happen about the bloke that didnt sho...So what will happen about the bloke that didnt show up due to his hangover?? think he will get a reprimand?? i seriously doubt it but he should!!pooky225https://www.blogger.com/profile/14031299161686567015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698839117705785263.post-50846292942186489232007-08-06T10:33:00.000+00:002007-08-06T10:33:00.000+00:00"we can't lend you anybody because we're short our...<I>"we can't lend you anybody because we're short ourselves."</I><BR/><BR/>Definatley sounds like he's got his priorities wrong... I expect he's someone who can't cope with more than one "area" (Or no areas at all really, from what you've said) and so like you say, he focuses on just grocery.<BR/><BR/>I do HATE that when people let you down over work "do's" - You just know they are thinking "sod everyone else, I'm going to call in sick tomorrow, so I can get bladdered now".<BR/><BR/>I reckon between him pestering you on your break and him mellowing, someone may well have spoken to him..? Is that possible, given the other people there?<BR/><BR/>How about this?; Sit him down at his convienience and set a date for a review, like in one month's time. Tell him all the hassles (again) now, and then note down every problem that comes up in the next month. Then make your decision at the end, either seeing him first to discuss it, or just dropping in your resignation letter on the day the month is up, with a cheery <I>"Month's up... here's my resignation... bye!"</I>James (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09835526134217618466noreply@blogger.com
