To be annoyed with DH manager

[User24676677]

Nc for this as im quite open in my posts and dont want to be recognised with this

I have a management and HR background. Dh works in a role that performance bonused monthly

Since covid achieving bonus has been hard and targets have not been achieved.

His manager has month on month listened to hia calls telephone based role and said "your doing great its just unlucky dont change anything"

Today hes been told hes going on a first stage informal sanction. I know how these processes work and if he continues to fail to achieve target the sanctions will grow to formal stages

Im pissed off hes had no coaching training or development and has actively asked for this as per my advice when hes been moaning hes not achieved

AIBU to help him draft an email to his manager saying without the proper recorded coaching and development hes not accepting this

Or should I leave him to handle it 100% he is a grown man but dislikes conflict or simmilar whereas Id be quite direct

there's no harm in helping someone close to you to draft a letter or email but he needs to be comfortable with sending what he's sending. is there anyone else he can trust who could offer an additional view?

If I had the knowledge to help him out, as you do, then I'd definitely help him.
Plus it would affect you both if he lost his job (worst case).

Surely the first question is - how much service has he got? Under 2yrs - leave it well alone. Over 2 yrs - yes seems fair enough to say he needs clarification on what he is failing to achieve.

I’d help him if I were you, and he was open to sending it!

Ok thanks everyone. Service wise its between 7-9 years being a bit vague there but well over 2 years

Hes annoyed and upset he works really hard

There has been extra restrictions brought into the product due to covid- its an insurance product- so conversations that would have been a sale last year are being heavily increased in price due to a percieved increase risk and so clients are rightky saying they will look elsewhere.

Ill chat with him when kids not around as he was telling me earlier when dc were wanting my attention and if he wants me to help him draft an email or something to say in the 121 he his havinvg next week (the first 121 all year) then i will

Thanks for your input all

OP - following your update then yes I'd support him in standing up for himself. It seems pretty unfair to me for him to be expected to hit targets which appear unachievable and/or to be sanctioned without first being given guidance on how to get better.
