Now I am someone who thinks it’s important to have fair hiring practices and maintaining a professional work environment.
However my DH has been having an utter nightmare with one of his team members and HR have made him go through an unbelievable amount of rigmarole to just get to the point where they are about to offer him money to go.
The guy has been less than two years.
A few examples of what he’s done
Lied to my husband’s face about when he started work multiple times
Missed deadlines after reassuring DH he’d ’nearly finished’
Going AWOL and refusing to answer messages or calls
Inappropriate use of sick leave and annual leave
Saying he’ll attend meetings and not turning up
At least 5 occasions where he claims to have emailed or messaged DH on Teams but ‘it didn’t send’
Never on time after already agreeing a later start time than everyone else in the team.
Every time DH has tried to address firmly HR have said they need to offer more support and it’s not reached the stage where they can let go.
They are now going to probably pay him 4-6 months pay which seems mad given he’s clearly not capable of the job.
It makes zero sense to me - if you work in HR can you explain this?
For context DH works for a university - I don’t know if that makes a difference.
I’d have been able to dismiss this person months ago if they worked for me.
