How Do You Manage An Employee With A Bad Attitude?

You care about your direct reports, and since you see them almost every day, you probably know them pretty well. This can often leave us thinking we know them, and their motivations, pretty well.

This is why when an employee suddenly snaps at us, gets short with coworkers, and is generally irritable, it can leave us feeling as though we know exactly what’s going on.

But leaders can’t read minds, and that means treading carefully when it comes to interpreting demeanor.

After all, what does a bad attitude actually look like? Is it being openly critical? Silent and glum? Sarcastic? Or just plain grumpy?

Discussing negative attitudes with employees is among the most difficult forms of feedback you can give.

I tried this after he disrespected me in front of a customer and he replied with, “why are you fkn getting butt hurt?” I immediately fired him. Some people just don’t know how to act no matter how professional your approach is.

And when you realise that he is supported from the level above you, let me know what are you going to do or how will you manage him,

Dealing with an explosive employee always gets real mad and thinks he’s the busiest in the room. (He’s the least) but he is a grown adult who throws tantrums.

Have a question, and I will appreciate if anyone replies me. I got hired in an accounting firm and its just the two of us in the office. My co worker has been there for 1 and half years and I've just been there for 7 months. Its my co workers who trained me but my training was the worst of all times. I have a degree and masters but my co worker has zero degree. When this guy discovered that I have two degrees, he started belittling and degrading me. Folks I was just fresh from school with no experience, so this guy took that advantage to belittle me. He used to remind me all the time how he has no degree but he can do everything. Sometimes, he would stand behind me and starts laughing at me. I tried to talk to bosses about him, but he has never changed. This guy also wants to dictate what I am supposed to do and what I am not supposed to me. He wants to be in charge of all my clients and my bosses know all this but just ignore. I swear I feel so horrible and want to resign but not sure if its the right decision yet. And since he's been there before me, my bosses listen to him more than me and am just left speechless. What can I do.

If your employee is having behavioral issues it’s usually the managers fault for not listening to their employee. Most of the time “behavioral issues” boils down to a bad manager who demands respect and makes the environment toxic for everyone around them because they’re triggering peoples fight or flight without even recognizing it.

Its a sign of a bad workplace and you should leave before it poisons you too. Stop blaming the workers for everything. They walked in there before everything at the workplace happened and are just pointing out the obvious. If you don’t listen to them that’s your own damn fault. I’m tired of people always pointing at the employee first and not the employer
