Did he actually disclose the other job or just mention it to someone informally?
Any way to catch him at the other job when he’s allegedly sick? |
You don’t need to bend over backwards here. He’s not meeting the needs of the job; unless there is information you haven’t shared regarding a disability, just fire him. |
“My Subordinate”?
Two weeks of sick leave in two months is a lot but I bet they need it after working for you. |
Not OP, but sorry you can’t manage, hon. |
Wt actual F? This is insane. Clearly you don’t have kids/never had to use up every drop of leave available to take a short mat leave and deal with every infant/toddler illness under the sun. Agree that OP’s problem needs to be cut in the bud, but this PP, just … wow. |
Your boss did not knock you up so not really their problem |
They are still on probation, cut them loose.They will only get worse from here |
What else do you call an individual who reports to you in the workplace? |
employee, staff, report? |
Right. Think I’m managing just fine. |
Report maybe. Individuals are employees of the company, not the boss. Staff is plural. You could say staff member but that’s clunkier than subordinate. |
That’s a really stupid take. |
Comrade |
Direct report. For this particular thread, if they had said staff or employee, then people would say, do they report to you. So they were trying to get across the responsibility of this is a direct report. |
What do you mean by this?! I tend to sock away leave and take it in one go, while some of my US colleagues believe the company can't go on without them if they take one day. My European colleagues on the other hand all take leave at exactly the same time to do exactly the same things - beach trip to France in the summer; skiing in the Alps in the winter. I think with our varied culture here your statement comes off a bit myopic. |
