When a Good Employee Becomes Unreliable

Boss Better Now with Joe Mull ·

2023/08/20

A manager wrote to me recently with this question, I've got an employee who joined our team last year, and she does a great job, but she calls off a lot. Each time is for a perfectly good reason. Her son was sick, then her furnace died, then her dad had a fall. You get the idea. She's a single mom like I was, so I want to be understanding and support her.

2023/06/25

I want you to imagine that you've just sat down at a restaurant for a dinner out with your family.
