About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

75...quiet...and i can think....
Sometimes, being the boss is hard. I love my job, but I'm not so thrilled with the 'occasionally you have to play hardball' part of it. The majority of my employees are an excellent team. At one point i thought they all were, but now one of them seems to be not pulling her weight. Everyone else gives 110%, but she doesn't. I've talked to her, but there's always the excuse. So I'm holding a meeting on friday and (at my request) my disctrict manager will also be there.
The stuff that is not getting done, the jobs being done half-assed, the attitude is beginning to affect the rest of the team and I need to nip this in the bud. Nothing thus far that is 'fire-able' thus the meeting which I'm hoping will get the point across for once and for all. Point is, we (with the one exception) are an awesome team. Our store can be one of the best in the district...but it will take all of us pulling our weight. The sense of pride and joy in the store is there for the rest of the crew...but the rumblings are getting louder and I need to find the words to convey this to the group as a whole in such a manner that a) they have the opportunity to speak out and b) not alienate her because I don't want to fire her, just get her on board and with the rest of the team.
Any and all ideas would be appreciated. I need to handle this right. This then, is the hard part. |
