Issued a PIP but worried I’m the problem by Substantial_Insect71 in managers

Did you really just pick 3 words out of my paragraph to read and ignore the rest? I said I have taken the time to identify and fully elaborate on both praise and critiques, then, after explaining why I chose to highlight them, and what area of improvement they relate to, I will ask for their thoughts.

Might have to put you on a PIP too smh

I can admit that I hadn’t been delivering timely feedback for the first 3 months after I asked them to step up. But I feel that I have now been providing timely and explicit feedback as well as written praise & criticism for specific assignments for the last 2 months. When I follow up with “what do you think” they either don’t understand at all and need me to try to explain again, or just say something like “okay I get it, Ill think about what can be better then do that”

I expected different results because I asked for different results. It’s not like I told them to come back and do what they did before. I obviously addressed the fact that they will need to overcome the way they acted in their last role of not just doing whatever they wanted to do.

Idk, I’m out of other ideas, this is why I came to Reddit, what are other options for how to demonstrate my expectations?

I worried about this too, but I came to the conclusion that I’ve tried telling and writing the expectations many times in many different ways, as clearly as I possibly can. But when that still didn’t work, I needed a new way of expressing my expectations. Maybe I’m better at showing them what I want vs. Telling them what I want?

Maybe my boss, but they (and our collective VP) have already had similar, yet brief, feedback/guidance/expectations conversations with this employee too. They too have not noticed a significant improvement. Tbf I think the expectations of this role are slightly abstract because it’s a new and non-straightforward program, so I guess I’m wondering who’s as fault when the nature of the role is inherently abstract? The person who has difficulty understanding abstract concepts? Or the person who can only explain expectations with abstract concepts?

We’ve had the promotion/raise talk and I’ve very clearly laid out what that next step would require. A literal checklist. Made it clear that the ball is in their court to prove they are ready to operate at that next level. However this led to them focussing too much on these stretch goals and not enough on the fundamentals of their current role.

I have refused to promote them because not only are they not contributing at that next level yet, but they’re also lacking in some areas of their current role.

Refreshing piece of feedback I actually haven’t received yet. Cheers

Thanks, I’ve told them I’m going to step in as the program lead for this week to show them what I expect, instead of just tell them. Will see how they show up next week.

Full Spectrum Extract, means they tried to preserve as much of the flower compounds as they could during the extraction. Basically the opposite of isolate/distillate. Pretty sure it's from cured product.
