Employers need to know that every employee they hire and retain will meet and exceed job expectations, regardless of their moonlighting.
I supervise a talented but difficult employee whose performance has always been spotty but recently went downhill.
I let Scott know the client had called me and wanted the project completed sooner rather than later. When I asked, “Can you just finish in the next day without the extra twists?” Scott acted as if I had insulted him. He said he’d “downgrade” his plans and the project would be ready in two days. When Scott left for the day, I looked at the project on his computer to see where he was at and what his methods looked like. I discovered Scott had barely started the project.
Here’s what to consider when you assess Scott’s position on your team: You want to know that every employee you hire and retain will meet and exceed job expectations. If Scott had been able to do so, you wouldn’t have written to me. But he’s not. But though he’s talented, he’s regularly behind on deadlines. That’s a work performance problem, and if that were the only issue, you could “rehab” Scott.
