Managing a corrective action
Morning! Glad to be here! I just had to do a corrective action on an employee and it just about broke me. The meeting went off the rails and I got emotional and flustered and my boss just doesn’t understand. She’s very matter of fact and lacks emotion. I did not feel her support at all during the meeting and that stung.
What was worse was last night she was texting me telling me to be strong yada yada yada. When I pointed out to her that this one employee is literally the only one on my team I’m having issues with, she replied that I may think my team respects me as a leader but don’t know what’s said behind my back. And then said she questioned whether of not I was really a manager before 😭
How does one not only deal with the repercussions of a write up gone wrong, with a follow up blow like that all while being an hsp???
I didn’t sleep last night. I dread working today.
Thanks for insights. This js new to me.
