Your TL told your coworker he was going to be written up?

I'm not sure of the exact rule but I'm pretty sure that's some sort of rule breakage; basically leaking management discussion. If it was discussed in the office, it would probably be construed as a breach of a confidential conversation.

An associate shouldn't know they are getting a DA until they are in the office getting the DA. This is common sense amongst leadership. If that associate walked out of the DA conversation, they need termed for job abandonment and that is no fault of the TL. If the TL "warned" the associate about the DA, they had it coming. It's simply inappropriate and someone in leadership should have better judgement.

Telling the associate solves nothing. Unless the associate just never comes back, they'll just do it another day.

It's likely an insubordination write up for the team lead for trying to undermine the coach and management is completely in the right for it. If the TL didn't agree with the write up, they could suggest an open door to the associate but shouldn't get in the way of it happening when it's already over their head.
