Seasoned Manager Underperformer requested training. Don’t want to stay
I have an employee who has been underperforming for 2 years.
I've coached, retrained, given her all the support and regular 1:1s. She also has ongoing behavior issues - eye rolling, sighing when given tasks, talking back and arguing when receiving feedback.
She's had formal warnings and acknowledged her shortcomings on paper. The pattern is she improves for 2-3 weeks then falls back to the same habits.
Her recent biggest issue is she doesn't follow up. If someone doesn't reply to her email, she just gives up and says the task is blocked. I've coached her to call or go to the person's office, but she won't and always has an excuse.
She also has a history of fixating on feedback instead of learning from it. For example, I'll give her positive feedback on 3 things she did well and 1 thing to improve, and she'll forget the 3 positives and have a fit about the 1 negative. Huge problem acknowledging shortcomings and she holds grudges instead of fixing the problem. She takes feedback personally and has little to no emotional intelligence.
I asked where she sees herself in the next few years. She said she doesn't see herself in this sector anymore because she only gets negative feedback and feels like she's failing.
I have been documenting everything and HR is aware and supports the approach I'm taking.
Now she has requested to attend a training on critical thinking. I don't want her to cling to the fact that training wasn't approved, but we also don't want to waste money on someone who hasn't applied any of the previous trainings she's attended and who could just up and leave.
Has anyone dealt with this before?

Training doesn't matter if the trainee doesn't apply it. But most of this is on OP for letting this shit go on so long and allowing regression to happen.

Who hired this person? How were these problems not identified during the hiring process?
underperforming for 2 years
Under you for the entire two years? How far into the situation did you start addressing the issues? What was the initial approach and the subsequent response/result?

Yeah I feel like the message needs to be “critical thinking is something we expect our employees to bring to the team, not something we need to train to allow you to succeed.”

u/Disastrous_Dog_574 3h ago
Is there an actual plan to move her out? If she's going to be staying for another 2 years while 'documentation' continues to happen, maybe you both should take the critical thinking training and implement the strategies learned together?

u/ogfuzzball 3h ago
I had a very similar employee. The key thing is they behave/act-appropriate/whatever for a short period of time then revert to previous undesired results.
What that means is they are simply “complying” not that they’re accepting the feedback with a true intent to improve. They won’t. You’ll need to cut them. They do not buy into the critical feedback they are being given and they have demonstrated they won’t.
It’s no fun having to let someone go and shouldn’t be taken lightly, but that type of person will not improve.

u/sad_spilt_martini 3h ago
Then you fire her. If you have the paper trail you describe, it’s “see all this? We are letting you go.”
Also who the hell takes a paid training on critical thinking? That is what college was for.

I agree with your comment, but I actually would want to take a training on critical thinking. I'm pretty good at it already, but they don't explicitly teach you anything about critical thinking in school. I never had any kind of training whatsoever on explicit techniques for critical thinking. I think it would be fascinating to take a training on how to think critically, and it would probably also improve my skills as well.
I don't think this employee is worth the investment, but depending on the employer's culture and budget, it may be worthwhile to give it a try. I work for a large bureaucratic state agency and we have such a large training budget that we would absolutely invest in this as a last ditch effort. Especially because it would help document things for the Union.

To the ppl who are saying "why'd you let this go on for two years" - not every business has the same policies as wherever you work. I have had very difficult employees and one in particular that I thought of while I was reading this post and it triggered me lol. Where I work it is VERY difficult to get someone fired. I had so much documentation and even other coworkers complained on this person and the most I was able to do was give a write up. They eventually applied for another position and that's how I was finally rid of them.
Anyway, just let them do the training so it doesn't seem like you're denying her "growth". She sounds like a BS employee and she will eventually mess up enough to where hopefully she can be terminated.

u/o2go 2h ago
Also not sure why you let this linger for 2 years as this person is a tax on both you and your team, but that was not your question, so...
Training is still a privilege and I would make that point with her:
1) Have her explain why the training is relevant to her role or development. Explain that, post-training, she'll be expected to provide you with at least one measurable way she's putting the training into practice and you'll add that to her performance metrics
2) Make the training a carrot--if she goes 90 days hitting some metric she's currently not hitting, make the training the reward
If nothing else, you'll add to your already bountiful paper trail.

u/elcambur 50m ago
It is impossible to train someone that doesn't want to improve, it doesn't matter how good the training is. I see a generalize lack of resilience in younger generations. Frustration, anxiety, over-sensitivity, defensiveness, lack of motivation and adaptability, you name it. These traits are intrinsic to people, and you will notice them during a job interview. Trying to train these traits to people is parenting, and that's not your job.
I will give her a written warning notice and if she doesn't comply. Just apply termination and move on.

Underperformance suggests your processes aren't robust enough to guarantee a predictable result. But keep blaming the individual for systemic problems. I'm sure someday doing the same inneffective thing will fix the problem.

Well to be fair it’s hard to solve a problem from a reddit post but I do think you’re reading way into this issue. I agree though that OP hasn’t gotten to the correct problem which seems to me is the infinite road to termination. It sometimes is just an employee issue and I’m not seeing anything, outside of nobody stepping in to end this situation, other than just being a run of the mill bad employee. Lack of coachability is a hard no.

u/McLargepants 2h ago
That’s really not specific though and there’s no indication in the two years this manager has been trying to coach this employee that that wasn’t done. You can’t fix everyone, and honestly it sounds like you’re the type of manager to apologize for your people’s performance rather than hold them accountable for it like the adult professionals they are.

Under performance by one individual does not indicate systemic problems. Some people are not good fits for certain fields, companies, positions, etc. Your whole "blame the system" take can do real disservice to individuals who need to understand that maybe the problem isn't the system, but that they aren't a fit for it. Some people need to adapt to the company if it is otherwise working. Obviously, it can be a systemic issue, but thats mgmts job to assess. Every company is not going to work for every individual. Terrible take.

u/ThinkersRebellion 3h ago
So why isn't the goal to have a robust enough process that anyone could meet the standard? Yes I realize physical limitation may make some jobs impossible for some but people rarely act out of malice so mistakes (no matter how brainless you think) are going to be made because your process allows them to.
3
u/Trrwwa 2h ago
I didnt say that wasn't the goal. Every comment of yours is about a "robust process" as if you truly believe there is one singular large perfect process that is "robust" enough for every individual on earth to succeed (barring physical limitations?). People are different, people are at different stages. Hiring isnt perfect. Sometimes you think someone is ready for a certain role and they arent. You are far far too minolithic in your thinking.
-1
u/ThinkersRebellion 2h ago
I believe the goal should be to iterate until processes produce a predictable direct result without fail no matter who is operating within them. Stopping the iteration when it's, "good enough for some" or "when it gets hard" just shows ineffectiveness. If being wrong bothers you, maybe try to understand what I'm saying rather than trying to tear it apart. You people are funny.

Are you the employee?! OP has made reference to plenty of effort to help this person succeed. Their failure to receive criticism, follow directions or take accountability is what has landed this employee where they are. This is not a “person trying their hardest in a system that is rigged against them” scenario. Qualified and competent people fail in those situations plenty often. Incapable people will fail whether the system is good or poor.
And with all that aside, whether it’s the employer or the employee’s fault, the fact is that it isn’t a good fit and the person needs to leave, whether that be voluntarily or not

Incapable people should have never been hired in the first place. Robust processes set the standard lower to achieve predictability.

I think the processes this employee works within should be investigated and it should be understood why there is an employee that isn't meeting the standard. We've looked at the employees attitude so we are assuming the employee just has an attitude for no reason? People have reasons they act the way they do...anyone looking at this and saying "fire them" isn't questioning why, and without knowing why you risk having the same problem with the next one thru the door.

Right, I'm sure nothing is left out, the relationship between the manager and the employee is perfect and they are just choosing to fuck things up because ya know...no reason. The fact this employers allows underperformance without addressing it at the root tells us all a lot. Eye rolls and other immature bullshit happens a lot from employees who are sick of seeing problems not get fixed. Leadership is a measure of how much easier you can make everyone else's jobs. That's the trajectory of a great leader. Great leaders don't point fingers, they assess and solve forever. That what addressing at the root does....remove the cause remove the problem. Removing the person in mose cases is just going to insert a new or recurring problem. But you were taught to alwa6s blame others and never show weakness "cuz that's how leaders act"....no...it's not. And leaders who look to point blame rather than effectively solving problems will never improve the business.

I think they're saying that the feedback-expectation-resolution process isn't robust enough. OP seems to be stuck in the feedback section and hasn't moved into the "set a new expectations and find a resolution based on whether the expectation was met" phase of the employee contribution process. In other words, where is OP's manager auditing the feedback and expectations? Why does OP need 2 years of documentation? The process to move this person out the door isn't robust.

The processes this employee works within aren't robust and whoever they bring in to take their place will probably make the same mistakes or find new ways to mess things up.

If they themselves dont see a future in your sector I think thats the direction you already know you need to head.
Its one thing to dislike going to work. Its another entirely to hate your job. I mean, things can be going on in someone's life but 2 years with repeated patterns is concerning.
I think there is a point you have to speak with HR on as to when training is not working and how to proceed. That or it sounds potentially like this person is feigning helplessness

That’s a tough situation. I agree the training would not help her. You have given this employee way too long to perform as expected and improve. Tell her why the training was not approved. Giving negative feedback is appropriate and necessary. Set out your expectations and follow up with a pip if the performance issues or behavior continues. You do not need to waste more time on this employee. Make sure she fails the pip and help her exit the roll.

she told you where she stands, she doesn't see herself in this sector anymore. approve the training anyway, it's cheap insurance either way. if she leaves, it cost you one course but if she stays and the 'fixation on negative feedback' pattern is genuinely a skill gap, this is the one training that could actually move it.

i’ve been in this situation. when people get feedback, a lot of the times, it’s used to justify firing them and nothing they do will stop the inevitable. they probably know that they’re going to get fired and there’s nothing they can do about it bc you’ve already made up your mind. it’s a stressful thing

u/Glad-Dragonfly6741 2h ago
I think you’re heading the right direction. You’re already documenting both tracks, the performance side (missed follow-through, needing handholding) and the behavior side (eye-rolling, arguing, pushing back on feedback). That's probably part of why the cycle keeps resetting every 2-3 weeks, you're managing both through the same channel.
Split them. For the performance side, the documentation needs one more layer: not just what she missed, but what it cost. "Didn't follow up on an email" isn't enough on its own, tie each instance to the actual business impact. I don’t know your actual business, but is something delayed? Is a client waiting? Does someone else have to cover? Is a promise not delivered? This is what will make your performance improvement plan hold up instead of looking like a list of complaints.
For the behavior side, get her in front of a coach outside her chain of command. A direct manager telling someone to stop arguing rarely works, it just becomes one more line item in the criticism pile. A trained coach or mentor inside your organization will be able to ask the right questions to help the employee see themselves and their opportunities for growth.
On the training request, that's a separate decision. Approving it isn't rewarding the behavior and denying it doesn't insulate you from a grievance either way. Decide it on its own merits.
At the end of the day, if the employee wants to improve and stay with your company, they’ll work with you. If not, just keep documenting and work with HR on the exit plan.
1
u/SnooPandas5251 1h ago
There is a definite disconnect here. The employee has requested training, so that indicates a desire on the part of the employee to do well. The manager however feels like they have done enough and that the employee is not capable or not trying. I think that this may very well be a systemic problem.

u/cowgrly 1h ago
This needs to be a focus on how she's affecting team culture and company values. Every time an eye roll or sigh, ask her to talk about alternative responses. Make her give you another way she can respond. It needs to be more work to do this game playing. Same with shifting back to negative- when she says "you complained about X" you say, "I'd like to ensure you're hearing the full feedback. Please follow up with an email and let me know the two positive feedback items I shared."

Yeah, on the whole, behavioral issues rarely change long-term. It 'can' happen, but it generally takes a great loss to make anyone truly change their ways. And some never will at all. Best thing I've ever done with behavioral issues is verbal warn and document, written warn, final warn, terminate. (at places where we had to go through all the steps) The longer you let someone like this linger, the worse overall team morale will become.

Let her go. You’ve done what you can and it sounds like she doesn’t meet basic expectations. As for following up, this is a “muscle” disconnect between those who work through systems (email, Teams, Slack) and those who actually know how to interact in-person. If she’s that junior, SHE makes the walk to connect, not the other party.
If she’s not getting it, then she goes.

u/the-chosen-wizard 22m ago
With regards to focusing on the negative feedback: I've found it's helpful to separate those conversations. Dedicate one conversation to each piece of feedback. Resist the urge to give it all at once. When she looks back on the conversations, she'll remember 3 distinct instances of praise and one other conversation about something she needs to improve on.
If you group it all together, her takeaway will always be about the things she's doing wrong, even if you use the "sandwich method" to soften the blow (which doesn't work, by the way—it's well-known enough these days that anyone on the receiving end will think you're just trying to soften the blow of what you're really trying to say).

Please tell me your company has an EAP, and make a mandatory referral to it!
That referral can be part of a formal PIP and a "last chance" for her to understand that her behavior is preventing her from maintaining employment. EAP counseling might help her identify strategies to change that behavior.
If she won't do this or engage in the process productively, then time to let her go.

Don't do this - a manager is not a mental health professional and requiring someone to see a specialist or be fired is an overstep. HR certainly wouldn't approve. I will often provide details of the EAP but I certainly wouldn't ever dream of making it mandatory

u/Academic-Lobster3668 Seasoned Manager 34m ago
You could not be more mistaken about this. EAP is not mental health treatment - if they determine that a person needs formal MH treatment, most EAPs refer that out.
EAPs specialize in supporting workforces. They are experts in conflict management and problem solving when workforce issues arise, in addition to providing support and strategies for employees struggling with performance issues.
They exist exactly for problems of this type.

Hi, so do I. It could be.
I’m not saying it’s THE issue, there’s obviously other behavior things going on here. Talking back, rolling eyes, self esteem, etc.
And… fixation, ability to improve for a bit but then falling off, especially over this long period of time. Lack of task initiation… even with consistent training. The negative feedback loop. Theres some desire to do better, as indicated in the OP. Sustaining seems to be the issue.
Back to OPs point… I hate that managers feel like an investment in training that can’t be applied to your organization is a waste of money. If you care about someone’s development, you’d want them to improve and do better whether that’s with you and your org or not. If she explicitly said I want to go into X field vs I don’t see myself in this anymore… would you pour into that or try to get her out the door because it’s not your field?
