Accenture bruh 😂 haath pau toot gaye toh awei kaam ni karna usne 😂

My Approach:

Phase 1: Show him why you think he's not contributing. Suggest way forward and mutually align on reasonable tangible goals. Help him improve. Be positive and supportive.

Phase 2: Express disappointment at him for lack of change. Promise action if no improvement in x time. Document proof of incompetency.

Phase 3: Release from project/firm. Maybe he's not the right fit for the team/firm. Both parties will be happier if they just move on.

Usually people get corrected at phase 2 itself and rarely escalates to phase 3.

Nothing changes for people like these inspite of numerous warnings..and that's mainly because they have good setting with the top management.

If you're the CO, fire him. Else, ensure that his lack of contribution doesn't go unnoticed.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.

Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

I have only few more weeks to my LWD. I attended interview for 5 companies all cleared, but only 1 offer in hand, which I am not satisfied with. Others never came back with salary negotiation/confirmation. They just ask the expected CTC and never get back with update. It's a painful wait and demotivating. Do they come back or am I just waiting for nothing? My expectation is not out of the box too. Please suggest?
