KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:Importantly, that works when both you (the manager) and the employee are on the same page about the fit and performance of the employee in the role. It sounds like that may not be the case in the situation originally described. Yeah the employee may not agree that moving on is the right move for them, so things like helping them find that next job might not be appropriate. But I think it’s about mindset for the manager. This is about what’s ultimately right for both parties. Underperforming employees are rarely happy about it even if they don’t realize it.

My last job was a Fortune 500 Technology company of 80,000+ employees and they couldn't get Service Now to be anything but a useless steaming pile of poo poo despite paying out the rear end to bring on a bunch of their consultants to help with implementation and stand up.

Let someone who isn't his underling explain that it's not possible without this large budget allocation, and if they don't like that answer to take it up with THEIR boss.

Trying to explain to someone the 30 minute difference when they have a tenuous grasp on time zones is like a Laurel and Hardy skit. It's funny because I do work with a team there and depending on the schedule of the request, the answer may be 24 hours out. The thirty minute difference thing is something I just fuzzy-math into an hour in my head without much consideration just due to the nature of the relationship.

Of course they meant EDT! I've made it a BIG point to make sure everything is marked xDT or xST, and any cross timezone stuff will be of the format their time (my time). Way too much timezone fuckery in my life to want to deal with that poo poo again. I can make the conversions in my head near instantly, and it saves me headaches with scheduling.

EST vs EDT seems like the kind of thing that can probably be mostly figured out by context.

Recently my boss decided to reorganize the department, so instead of having everyone of all levels report directly to her now half of us report to someone who reports to her. None of us got title/pay reductions and really none of us had any path to promotions anyhow so no change there. I was sort of excited at the time since my new supervisor seems more competent/sane. Last week my boss chewed me out for 2+ hours over email because she found out I have been doing a thing she told me in writing to do, and which has been visible on her month end reports for actual years without a word ever being said. Best guess is that something was changed during budget time at which point suddenly we were always at war with Eurasia and it was my fault for not knowing that. New supervisor was copied but didn't make a peep until I directly reached out to her asking for an intervention. She then made excuses to me about how my boss is really busy, and stepped in only to ask for clarification on what changes were being requested. This week new supervisor reached out to her reports ask if we could all as a team improve our skills by... watching some webinars about coping with covid. Net result of restructuring: we're going to move some deck chairs around and hope the noise sufficiently covers the sound of my boss's ongoing emotional abuse.

We have locations worldwide and some of them were dialing in, so while I was pretty sure they meant EDT I've lost that bet before. If they'd just said "Eastern" it wouldn't have been a question but they tried to sound sophisticated and the lovely response from the McDonald's reject claiming never to have heard of EDT after I asked for clarification was excellent. They got let go a few weeks later for other similar dumb mistakes followed by doubling down with a bad attitude, always a bold move for a contractor.

My issue with time zones today was two students in the training class who didn't read that the course is for PDT when they are in EDT. For many reasons it's marked in bold text repeatedly. We offered courses in EDT and they were available when they signed up. But now they are full. And I have a waiting list. I understand some complaining about this but we're at hour 3 of me getting chat messages about it. And I'm ten minutes away from throwing one out.
