Mike landed his dream job a year ago. He's doing what he loves and works with a great group of people. His employer and coworkers seems very pleased with him, his work ethic, and the quality of his work. He has earned an excellent reputation. He was excited last week when another position opened up and he helped his friend, Anthony, get hired, too. But after only a week, Mike is starting to wonder if he did the right thing by providing such a strong recommendation for Anthony. By the end of the first week, Anthony started coming in a few minutes late, taking extra long breaks and texting his girlfriend throughout the day. Anthony isn't taking his training seriously, and Mike has been covering for him. Mike is disappointed in Anthony's lack of effort and is starting to feel Anthony is abusing their friendship. He is hoping his friend's poor performance doesn't reflect badly on him. Mike has tried to talk to Anthony, but he just laughs it off and teases him for being a "company man." What should Mike do?
I would tell him that if he doesn't start working like he wants the job he is going to be recommending to the people in charge that he is taken down from the job until he is ready. I would tell Anthony to stop abusing there friendship.
ReplyDeleteMike should tell Anthony that he has given him a strong recommendation, and if he doesn't start improving he will blow his opportunity. Tell him that you have tried to do the friendly thing by covering for him, but it isn't working for Anthony or him. He should tell Anthony to take his job and their friendship seriously.
ReplyDeleteMike should tell him that he gave him a strong recommendation. If Anthony doesn't start trying and messing around he will not have an opportunity to get the job. Tell him to start taking the job seriously and stop abusing the friendship.
ReplyDeleteI would tell Anthony about the strong recommendation you made for him so he could get this job. And it is reflecting poorly on him and he is going to lose his reputation for being a good "company man". I would also tell him if he doesn't fix his work ethic he will have a good chance of getting fired.
ReplyDeleteI would tell Anthony that I made a strong recommendation for him so he could get the job. The choices he is making is having a bad reflection on him and he will lose his good reputation. I would then tell him if he doesn't fix it immediately he will have a good chance of being fired.
ReplyDeleteI would tell Anthony that he either straitens up or leaves because Im not going to lose my job because he is slacking off. I would say im done covering for him and that hes goig to have to face the consequences.
ReplyDeletemike should tell anthony about the recommendation he made for him so he could get the job. it anthony doesnt stop messing around and start working hard he wont get the opportunity to get the good job.
