I was posting
to this specific post..
Irregardless of who was right and wrong..it was the attitude displayed by moamen i was disagreeing with:
"teach him a lesson to show him and the rest of the team who's the boss here!! It is important to clarify to him that if this assignment has not been implemented by a specific date and time then discplinary action will be taken. "
Thats fine if you manage children.
Don't think there's much employee protection in the states, but if my boss tried to "teach me a lesson" (in the negative sense) I would drag the company through a pile of dung so big....
"Teaching lessons" and issuing ultimatums is not professional.
If this employee was so good to start with, why did he refuse..must be a reason.
Had it been done in the proper way this issue probably would not have arisen, and the employee would most likely have done the job..or a compromise would have been worked out.
Here is a nice example: My boss recently asked me to use a certain program to do soemthing. Ok..so I did, I told him i didn't like the program..i wasn't happy about using it..but i couldn't give him a really good reason why..lets just call it intuition..so I had to do it anyways
The next morning i discovered this program had affected our live server and everything went to ****..
