So I recently gave a rocking performance review to an employee, and he is since working much slower (we started a deadline and daily check-in system), but has become much more friendly. He never used to eat with the team, and now sits right beside us during lunch break. He usually never had coffee with me in the morning and has abruptly started calling me for coffee. It seems like he is stalking me and sitting as close to me as possible in the office.

My major concern is that for whatever reason this new job falls through (relatively common in this sector) or if my DBS takes months to come back (again not entirely uncommon), that I will essentially be left without employment for an extended period if I have given notice with my current employer.

I don’t kiss ass but I also don’t think I’m in charge or anything This first email was about a guy who was constantly calling off or going home almost immediately after he got here; it was effecting my workload so I emailed her: “Hello, this…
