#how many times has my supervisor pointed out her shoddy work ethic in the past and she has done nothing to change?

I’m going insane so I’m just gonna vent and say this now.

In a work setting, it is very important that you clearly inform new employees of their job duties from the very start. Never ever expect that they’ll “just know.” You need to be clear about everything, and I’d say for certain duties, you should be letting them know why it is so important. This is especially so in an office setting.

Secondly, if they do something wrong, it is very important that they know what they did wrong. You need to point out what job duties they did not fulfill. They need to know the potential damage they either did or could’ve caused very clearly. Out of all times, this is not the time to be kind and minimize their actions. If they don’t realize these things, they will not understand the important role they play and they will not fulfill their duties properly.

It is not fair to an employee to punish and scold them for something they were never informed about. By opening your mouth and being clear, you essentially set them up for success, but you more importantly remove liability from yourself. If they do something wrong in the future, you have every right to move through with disciplinary measures because you know they know what they should be doing.

Im just so tired of people not communicating clearly for fear of being mean. If a job duty is a job duty, if they’re doing something incorrect, you have every right to state it because it is an objective fact. That’s not being mean. If anything, opening your mouth works toward the efficiency and overall unity of a workplace. The less you decide to set the law, the more things that will go wrong, and you won’t have anyone to blame but yourself.
