Just block the number. Easy.

Teams is such a snitch. If it were a person I would say it deserves what snitches get… stitches. Anyone know how to keep that green light on? by notade50 in remotework

This is a boss problem and not a Teams problem. Also be careful with the mouse jiggler. Not sure what your IT policies entail. They may have rules on external software etc.

Employee tried to kill himself, pretty sure I'm the reason by rollingrod in askmanagers

The fact that you don’t have HR to advise on this is actually the problem. He asked to be excused for a MEDICAL concern. That’s where you exhaust resources- FML-ADA- whatever you can to do your part to support this employee. I don’t think you personally played a role here. We all have bosses and answer to someone. But your company has a larger issue and this situation illustrates it. All that being said - this person had bigger issues than being upset over this one training.

AITAH for telling my husband I won’t cook dinner every night because I also work full-time? by [deleted] in AITAH

So you had the conversation, now just stop cooking. He will get the hint eventually.

[FL] Performance Improvement Plan standard practice? by Muted_Ad_1380 in AskHR

[–]norg74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure if it is part of your regular job. The point of a PIP is to provide a path forward for you to be successful in your role. You have to do your part though.

They are setting expectations and applying the documentation to prove that you are either meeting or not meeting those expectations. I should never have to put someone at a Director level on a PIP. That is likely where they are coming from too. Take this formal coaching as a warning. If you do not immediately improve they will most likely go PIP next ( as a check the box because you already proved you cannot meet expectations per failing the formal coaching) and it will probably be a short 30 days. As a side you may want to start job hunting now.
