Just be honest. You can be honest without being a jerk. Helps no one to cover for people who consistently doesn’t show up. Unless they are going through something personal.
Yes I do think this person has something personal going on. Not sure what it is
What helped you choose your words? I’ve found focusing on outcomes, not blame, keeps things fair and professional. Honesty matters, but framing is everything. Stick to facts, not feelings, and you protect your own credibility.
Facts are that this person hasn’t been delivering the last month but has a track record of excellent work so it may be something personal going on
Yeah unfortunately. I had to get on a call with my boss's boss a few months ago about something unrelated. Toward the end of the conversation, he asked something like "Hey, how've things been going with *my boss's name*? Is she doing a good job communicating with you?" And honestly, she hadn't been at all. I'd have to resend emails multiple times to get her approval on things. Never anything drastic enough that it made me miss a deadline, but it was still kind of annoying. But she's genuinely a lovely person and I didn't want to get her in trouble, so I just said she was doing great and left it at that. I guess my opinion didn't really matter, because she got fired two weeks later. I felt kind of bad for not doing a better job sticking up for her.
It’s tough.. I completely understand. Your situation was like mine. Sometimes you can’t save everyone too
What did you end up saying then? I'm a horrible liar too and I always end up giving away too much information. I think honesty is generally the best policy but I can see why you'd be anxious. I would have tried to balance those things too if I were you.
I unfortunately said the truth I’m a bad liar. I feel like shit both ways though I hope I didn’t jeopardize this persons future at the company
Tough spot. You don't want to cost anyone their job, but sometimes you're doing them a favor. Hopefully they'll get a chance to get their act together.
