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.

Is it fair game to report someone’s particularly polarizing IG posts to HR? Was friendly with this person but now I wouldn’t ever want to work with them after some of the things they’ve posted.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
