replace: an worker is out to get my star performer, and nobody else cares
Bear in mind the letter-writer who managed a star performer who was being focused by a coworker and nobody else within the firm’s management cared? Right here’s the replace.
First, one of the best information! Tina earned an enormous promotion to a special division a few weeks after you printed my letter. She’s now an AVP for retail gross sales technique. It got here with a giant elevate, annual bonus, and an additional two weeks of PTO. I nonetheless chuckle after I suppose how way more cash we’re paying her than if we’d have simply given her the 5 on her efficiency assessment. I’m glad she’s out of our space although; it is a higher match the place she will get a contemporary begin with new folks. We nonetheless work on the identical campus and get lunch collectively generally.
As for me, I hate to confess it however I’m having a significantly better time since Tina left. I not should cope with Dave’s fixed complaints and Jen has confirmed to be a reliable colleague now that Tina is out of the image. I’m making an attempt to maneuver on and foster a very good (if cautious) working relationship with Jen.
Sadly Dave remains to be focusing on Tina. A nasty rumor that she was fired began up proper after she left. I used to be in a position to shut it down however shortly after that rumor was quashed, Tina let me know that Dave had immediately tried to comply with or join along with her on each social media account she had. She declined and blocked him however then saved getting a stranger each couple of days doing the identical issues. She believes it’s Dave and needed to lock down all her social media accounts. I don’t know why he’s nonetheless so weirdly fixated on her.
Earlier than Tina’s promotion, Mike introduced he was leaving for one more firm and launched his substitute, “Maria.” In a bizarre method that made me really feel higher since if he’s had a foot out the door then his cavalier perspective makes extra sense. Then in early March Hank the VP left fairly immediately with nobody lined up within the function. The rumors are wild however I do not know what occurred.
Maria has a fierce, no-nonsense management fashion that’s helped the division enhance drastically. Jen’s actually taken to her as properly and has put far between herself and Dave. I didn’t notice Jen was an analyst with Dave for eight years and was newly promoted simply earlier than Tina was transferred. She’s since discovered she has to place managing Dave forward of their prior friendship. Maria’s additionally helped me learn to higher navigate personality-based suggestions and see my missteps. I handed on a whole lot of Dave’s complaints anonymously to Tina earlier than I confirmed they had been false. I rushed off to Tina with Jen’s suggestions and didn’t take the time to grasp the background. I’ve discovered quite a bit and can do higher going ahead.
