Have nc as don't like posting work related under my usual username.
I took on a team member late last year who was a recent graduate. Their work is good and they are getting on well in the role.
However they are starting to demand unrealistic things from the role, the company and for their level of experience.
Examples would be- asking to work flexible hours that just don't fit with the role (not for family reasons- more to fit with social life and gym etc)
Getting annoyed that they don't get to do "more exciting" projects that other (senior) people do- I do offer them parts of these type of projects, but they've actually gone to senior management when I did this saying that i was palming "donkey work" off on then.
Constantly asking what work I am doing and why can't they do it.
I have sat down with this person to discuss their aspirations and how they see the role developing and then assigning ownership or part ownership of areas that meet this, but again it seems that they'd then want to "cherry pick" the fun bits but not do he less "fun stuff".
I'm feeling pretty fed up as there is a bit of a foot stamping attitude to go along with it- and sometimes a comment of "well my tutor said xxx, do you aren't doing x right".
So, Aibu to ask if you've had a similar experience and how did you cope (btw have managed around 100 staff and never had quite this issue to this degree before).
