I previously posted on here about a member of my team who was returning from a career break and how I was dreading it.
He’s manipulative and generally quite unpleasant to deal with.
He flits between charming when trying to get his own way, to back handed compliments, to maligning me behind my back to customers, to personal attacks face to face if I give feedback.
In a return meeting he became extremely personal when I tried to outline expectations for his return and how I wanted to see things move forward.
Since his return he’s giving me the silent treatment passive aggressive responses for instance replies to emails saying Fine by me. Or not replying at all. Not communicating with team members in group chat but individually.
Its all about control.
Failed to communicate something important to me where he chose not to attend some training but did not inform me. I emailed to outline expectations about attending training, no reply or acknowledgement.
I want to meet to outline expectations however need it to be constructive and not result in personal attacks on me.
Any advice.
I am building up a chronology of events and I fully intend to start processes if I find out anymore negative behaviour.
