New to my role, and a junior was assigned a task by the project manager and he has literally contributed nothing despite continued follow ups by me. Best way to handle it?

Use your PM! Have them set up a check in with you and the junior to review work. I’ve found that this helps with making deadlines more formal and it sets up how the review should go (YOU reviewing THEIR work).

Sit down with them to talk about expectations. Ask what they thought they were. Tell him/her your expectations

likehelpful

Definitely talk to him/her and let them know they need to put in more work. I’ve seen this happen too many times where certain members of the team under-deliver and fly under the radar. Not fair to the rest of the team.

Yup, get the PM to act as the conduit. I’ve had this before... it’s pretty disrespectful. If it gets too painful and if you’re on good terms with your GCD get him/her to strike the fear of God into them.
