I have an employee who at times has come off as blunt or dismissive. I was asked as their direct supervisor to have a conversation with them. Has anyone had a similar situation happen? What is the best angle to approach this?

Tough, blunt and honest is one thing, dismissive is another. On our floor, we've addressed it in team meetings as "just a reminder" as the the first step. That way, everyone gets the same feedback and no one gets called out. Then address it in a one on one meeting if it keeps happening.

Poor management technique as not everyone has the issue.

Is this with customers, colleagues or all the time? Also where are they from? In philly this is kind of expected but others get rubbed the wrong way. Be honest with them, let them
Know I
This is the feedback and needs to be considered a verbal
Warning. Offer ways to approach or change

Those are some specific examples I would bring up. Being blunt is one thing. It could be cultural differences or something like that. Interrupting and telling someone that something isn’t confusing are behaviors that make collaboration difficult. Frame it as “I have some feedback to share with you.”

How do I remove all of these conversations

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.

Additional Posts in Healthcare

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
