[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a new federal supervisor. My team is mainly GS-12s, with a few 13s. I have been with them for a month and they routinely don't show up to scheduled meetings. Another office scheduled a meeting during lunch time and even though this is not a recurring meeting, every person on the team refused to come to the meeting. People blast music in an open cubicle environment. There is a lot of socializing and chit chatting. One employee was on medical leave and came to a team party. People are on telework schedules that do not make sense to me. Routinely, they call in unscheduled leave. People teleworking do not respond by phone or voice mail. I have been working here for a month and am at a loss. I have started addressing this behavior and people act like I am the unbelievable one. How has this office functioned like this for so long and how do I reign in this behavior and set expectations that we do our work and behave as the professionals we are on paper?[/quote]

Pick your battles. Don't try to overcorrect because it will bite you in the butt. Choose which issues are the most annoying and address those first. Once those are in place go on to the next issue until you either have transferred out the non-compliant or the ship starts to shape up![/quote]
