Why would they feel guilt or remorse, when they feel that the world / company / everyone else owes them something?

Managing them might be extremely frustrating, but I think that working for such a person might be just as bad!

Yes, they are real big on our CORE Behaviors in HR - - she's failed about half of them - - candor - trust/respect - accountability and I mentioned all that in my little speech.

I also have learned to type out what I'm going to say and give her a copy and not to veer too far off the written words because she will "misunderstand" what I said or say I never said that. She can't argue with the written words especially when she's given a copy.

Entitlement is a big issue with her for sure!

Uh, the only difference here is that your statement is actually true.

OR

2. Accept a Written Warning – No Call/No Show.




A real different generation entering the work force!!


Renda,

At this point, I would have been more inclined to just fire her for lying. At the bare minimum, she would have lost hours (suspension, forced vacation, etc.)



Did I meet this employee?

I couldn't fire her - - all the red tape - - you have to really have a case. However, with the written warning, the next incident she will be out of there.

No, you didn't met her. She job shares with an older lady and I remember Bonnie was there that day because she told Angela (the cute one) that you were really cute!

I think there are people like that in all generations. It sounds like you handled it real well though.

She tends to tell grandious stories that we've all questioned her on, but no proof.

She's 22. Whatever we discuss she is an expect on it.

She actually argued with me one time about the new cubicle walls in another building. Long story, but she said they went to the ceiling - - I said, no they are regular cubicle height. She basically stood in my face and said I didn't know what I was talking about.

I politely suggested that we walk over there together and I'll show her they are regular height. She said, no, I know what I saw.

Okay.....so when she went to sit at the receptionist desk it took her 15 minutes to get there -- we assumed she had walked over to the other building to look. Never heard another peep out of her.

I don't like liars and know-it-alls that know nothing!

My parents always taught me that you need to build a reputation of being an honest, trustworthy person.

I have always said that if anyone would LIE to you, they would STEAL from you. Renda, you might want to check for missing office supplies. LOL

I once worked for a short time for a man (as a bookkeeper) who wanted me to employ some..ahhh..."creative" methods. I don't think he ever understood that if I was willing to cheat someone else for him, then I was the last person he should be trusting to do his books!
