[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trouble with last month minute is I have a last minute Charlie who works for me. He does that crazy 8am to 430 pm thing (30 minute) lunch but when he submits thing at deadline. I work like a normal person to 5pm I always give it a Quick Look. Make sure no glaring errors and if so kick it back and he is gone. Then by Monday it is three days old already. I don’t get the strategy.

He literally addressed his last one to a dead person who died three years ago as he somehow got name off old docs.

My old company we used tools and system locked it after due date from being uploaded without it impacting your NPS (net promoter score) tied to bonus. Your boss could kick it back till 12 midnight for corrections.

I stink bombed this guy once at 11:59.59 pm his crap back. Got sick of him putting crap in at deadline.

So make the deadline Thursday. You know his schedule. If a project requires review and extra work, you need to build that in. If you want it ready to go Monday, his deadline is Thursday. If you need it Friday, his deadline is Wednesday. This is entirely on you for not managing time properly. The employee is doing as asked.[/quote]

You are so funny. I tried it and it was just ping pong till he cut off. I am going to PIP him. But here is his in person schedule, no clue what he does at home.
8am turns PC on while standing up with coat on. Then takes off coat, goes to bathroom, puts lunch in fridge gets cup of coffee then back to actually start work at 815 am . 
1245 pm  go bathroom, get lunch, go back to desk "log off at 1pm for 30 minute lunch back at desk at 1:30pm 
230pm to 245 pm take an imaginary 15 minute breaks as some very old HR handnbook references a break time allowed. 
415 pm, go to bathroom, pack up lunch bag, put on coat go back to desk at 430 pm log off.

he is only at work for 7 hours in person. And it is all the absolute min reading every HR reg.

I think last minute people are like this guy. They submit last minute at deadline as they know boss is then forced to fix their mistakes. Sadly most bosses do it which is why they keep doing it.

If this is how you communicate at work, no wonder you have issues with your employees.  [/quote]
