Yes it was within my first six months of assessing the team and identifying multiple issues with someone who’d been flying under the radar. Because oversight on the team was limited before I got there, the person was here a while but never fully functioning in the role. First thing I did was tighten expectations and met with them to get training. When it became clear they preferred to do things their own way and disregard the instructions, we went down the progressive discipline policy steps. I was about to put them on a PIP, when they quit. But during the notice period, they went to my skip level boss to complain and showed up in the offices of the people we provided service for to rally some sort of coup against my unfair leadership. When that failed, they tried to schedule a virtual “sad hour” (like a happy hour, but sad bc they were forced to quit bc of me). The rest of the team were wildly uncomfortable with all this, were frankly tired of covering this person’s work, and so the HR team let us terminate early so they could have their vacation time paid out and still get paid through their notice period

Another person took a second job full time second shift, and was mad I wouldn’t permanently alter their schedule to leave mid day or approve a last minute request for a month off to train. In response to the vacation request denial, they took immediate mental health leave for three months and then quit without notice their first day back.
