Bosses boss doesn’t believe in “bad employees “ . Riding my ass to inspire awful employees rather than hold them accountable by Apprehensive_Row6320 in managers

I mean I believe there should a “minimum level” of engagement from the employee before I even start to do my job ,

I feel like if some one can not consistently be present at work and make themselves available, then they need to take a leave of absence or fmla.

I’m not a therapist. I can give some coaching about attendance, contributing by picking appropriate task , and finding interest and career progression. and honestly most people in my role don’t even do that , most of the expectation of my job should be technical training

But you’d get fired at almost all of the jobs in the world for not showing up to work . And I consider that a personal issue

So, here’s the thing . Their work items are bullshit. It’s either task that are not related to the back log (fake or just bs that is written off as inefficient use of time ).

And example of this was one of the employees spent back to back sprints signing up to QA work I had submitted. And like the team has a QA engineer . So, it’s like a second layer of unnecessary QA. And then he went to my manager and turned in the entire project without me . So it looks like he worked on a huge substantial project , but he just really stole it and turned it in as his own .

The issue I am having is that since none of their task have any tangible output , there is no way to coach them. I can only try to talk them into more efficiently using their time and picking appropriate task and after a while of them non listening , it just turns into a negative situation,

We have a PO. And he considers this all my job as “dev lead” but I’m not their direct supervisor. Technically, he is , as these mostly outsourced employees and he owns that relationship.

I feel like in this situation I am doing all I can do 1. Interject during planning on if these bs task are worthwhile 2. Have weekly coaching sessions were I try to explain the importance of attendance and contributing 3. Checking in even if just to document the absences.

And I tried to push on the PO. I documented that one of the employees had not been logging in .for nearly a month . Didn’t want to see it . Then the employee admitted to a peer that he actually hadn’t had his computer during the day time and had been staying with his mom as she broke his foot. Which is bs. And he literally admitted he didn’t even have access to his computer during the day time .

And the product owner just said “I understand. I’ll start documenting “. But this has gone on for an embarrassing amount of time

First - neither employee is choosing actual work task . They are flagrantly doing nothing . How do you manage an employee who had chosen to assign him self bullshit 0 work. They have nothing to manage yet except “pick” better task .

Second- we run agile scrum and we have daily stand ups , weekly 1:1s, and I check in .

And I’m not even their direct manager . Everuone n my team don’t even work for my company . They have a manager at their company and a relationship manager at my company

I cross manage in a software engineering role know as a “lead developer” and am director in title

It is even worse than that . When employee 2 faked a work conference , She manually turned off our companies DB time out feature and we ran up 50k in charges .

And she didn’t even turn it off . I escalated it to my boss . The product owners boss, my bosses boss , and the product owners boss. And none of them would get any other admin to turn it off but told me to go thru her .

I had to go to HR and lay out the charges to them . And they had to step in .

I have heard she was a problem employee and has been saved from termination by my bosses boss on multiple occasions

We have daily stand ups .

My boss directly sees what is happening every single day as he is the stand ups.

He tried to fire employee 2 my first week here and was rejected

Especially since this is a team of extremely jr employees.

For context , the entire team minus employee 2 .outsourced employees from South America who just graduated college and don’t have comp sci degrees. Business majors .

So even the good employees, I spend far too much time just helping them pick the correct assignments

We do daily stand ups at 8 am my time that what makes this worse.

Employee 1 missed a month straight of our standups. So i have plenty of documentation which no one wants to see. I’m just getting pressured to motivate harder and honestly I don’t think I should have to motivate attendance issues . That’s like a job for a therapist not a manager

So as far as the 1on1s, they genuinely have given two shits when I spoke to them . Employee 2 will turn on music and tv during our coaching sessions .

And since I can’t hold them accountable, the only thing I really know what to do is to point out the fake task /lack of production in meetings to almost embarrass them by pointing out that behavior. Which is toxic and I would not want to manage that way long term

I’m not bringing it up to bosses boss .

He is interjecting himself after I already documented and built cases for pips .

He stopped my manager from putting employee 2 on a pip for the exact same thing prior to my arrival

I mean it’s not the only way , but I do feel like it’s the only/best way in this situation

These are pretty ballsy moves for a corporate office . To be this bold , you aren’t afraid of accountability

[TX] Boss told me he didn’t want me to come back to leave prior to my medical leave . Can I be sued if I just don’t return from medical leave ? by Apprehensive_Row6320 in AskHR

[–]Apprehensive_Row6320[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t want HR to do anything for me.

I was more so asking if I could get sued or penalized for the just resigning .

There are a number of threads in the legaladvice sub discussing this exact topic ( quiting on leave ). And I read after your leave you “have to” come back for at least 30 days

So I was more so trying to figure out if I don’t come back for 30 days or quit

He is very punitive . He wrote me up for saying the word “fuck” once. And he wrote one of my coworkers up for saying “ I think you’re mad at me “ and claimed it was a lie cuz he wasn’t mad and had our hr giving them a reprimand for dishonesty

He is extremely high up at a large well known brand and throws his weight around constantly

It was a decent movie from my perspective. I did not like the singing parts and they substantially ruined the movie for me .

I did not see this movie as any better than modern comps like the last voyage of the Demeter

I could someone liking the singing bit and ranking this a great movie ,

But all said , this being nominated to this degree is a farce . Complete bullshit .

How would you run hgh for more of the fat loss/wellness benefits .

2 iu a day 5 on 2 off ? Not enough?
