I'm dealing with a terrible, bitchy employee at work

[adlep]

A good one...
I'd say: 7/10

Swift kick to the balls. Then push him down the stairwell.

This solution has gotten me out of many a jam in my life.









....it has also created several.

:hmm:

I rarely appreciate parody threads.
Not bad.
7/10

A parody thread always gets points from me when people still fall for it after it's been exposed.

Document everything and then fire him.

I know it's a parody, but I think people in leadership posiitons may be able to gain something from treating the post as-though it were real.

Any recommendations on how to deal with a bad employee?

I've got this younger guy that works for me who apparently is under the mistaken impression that I can't replace him with any of 1,000 people looking for a job right now. I think he might actually have a mild case of Aspergers, because his strategy for keeping his job apparently is to talk down to me and then report me to HR when I snap back at him. Only thing keeping us from firing him is the fear that he sues us for retard discrimination.

All this guy does is complain all day, sometimes on Internet forums (yes, he's stupid enough to bitch about me from our work computers), and then he darts around trying to avoid me. This guy seems to think I'm incompetent and suffer from selective memory loss, but truth be told, he's just so useless that anything he says really isn't worth remembering.

How do yall handle a situation like this?

Stop sucking at being a boss:
1) Sit down with him and lay out where you see him; simply in terms of work-outcomes
2) Tell him what kind of work-outcomes you'd like to see, work with him on setting a goal that both of you agree with
3) Remind him of these goals, if he is doing something counter to the goal then help him by explaining how and why what he's doing goes against the goals.
4) Regularly meet with him (monthly?) and re-evaluate goals and the situation.


^this is how to be a good boss^

You do that and I will change my opinion of your OP from "stupid boss" to "stupid worker".

I expected better.
