What do you do about staff that just won't take responsibility? For example, they are given due dates.... but, if they miss the due date, they blame it on their manager saying that they didn't remind them or get mad they were late? Especially with employees that have decades of experience???? I can't micro manage like this. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I’m going to try and pretend they don’t have decades of experience. This feels ridiculous to even say, but set up a plan and the consequences when things aren’t done. Document always and hopefully they will get it together, just have the things in place if they don’t.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work.

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
