Talk to him regarding what you are seeing and you concerns. Tell him that this could get some one hurt if it continues. But also ask them what you can do to help. If it persists then notify a supervisor regarding your concerns.

If you've noticed a change in your fellow officer's behavior and work performance, it's important to address it with them directly and with empathy. Here are a few steps you can take:

Approach your colleague in a private and non-judgmental manner: Start the conversation by expressing your concern and offering your support. Be empathetic and try to understand what might be causing the change in their behavior.

Ask open-ended questions: Ask your colleague how they are doing and if there is anything you can do to help. Ask them if there is anything going on in their personal life or work that might be causing stress or distraction.

Offer support and resources: If your colleague is going through a difficult time, offer your support and let them know that there are resources available to help. You might suggest they speak with a supervisor, HR representative, or a mental health professional.

Document the conversation: It's important to document the conversation and any actions taken in case the situation does not improve or if it escalates. This will also help ensure that you are following proper protocol and procedures.

Follow up: Check in with your colleague periodically to see how they are doing and if there has been any improvement in their behavior and work performance.

Remember that as a colleague, your primary concern should be for your fellow officer's well-being and safety. By approaching the situation with empathy and support, you may be able to help them address the issue and get back on track. If the situation does not improve or if there is concern for safety, it may be necessary to escalate the situation to a supervisor or HR representative.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
