[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np.  My employee notified me that she was switching her telework day by email at 6 this am.  Party too much?  I took a deep breath and said okay, thanks, but will address her when I see her in person tomorrow.[/quote]

You're not a good manager. If the employee provides good quality work, then why do you care where they do it from? If the employee doesn't provide good quality work, then why aren't you addressing the work quality issue?  And why the judgment of "party too much"? That has nothing to do with work quality or work location.

This isn't how you cultivate high quality employees. This is how you get people to jump ship at the first chance they get. [/quote]

Ha, okay. If you say so.  She is a presidential management fellow who is totally new to government.  The rules are the rules; we don't make them up, we just follow them.  The rules can be bent, but not until you've proven yourself and have some time in the job.  As OP will soon find out.[/quote]

So she's a professional. Treat her like a professional. Otherwise, she'll just use her sick leave instead of teleworking. You'll get less work done and there won't be a damn thing you can do about it. You're not really helping your case here. You just sound petty. [/quote]
