A certain colleague at work is making me lose any trust I once had for him. We had a meeting on Monday and agreed on responsibilities for getting things sorted out before the Christmas closure; he came in this morning — the IT guy's last day, and he's the only one who can do all the digital marketing prep, which is the foundation of this business — and berated me for not having done what I (and the intern who sat in on that meeting) had understood to be his responsibility. So it was an unpleasant afternoon, and the poor IT guy, who's flying out tomorrow and still hasn't packed, probably won't make it home until 10pm.
I refuse to micromanage and pester — that's something to do with young, forgetful children, or grandparents — or be his personal assistant.
The only question, though, is how to let him give himself a taste of the water without allowing him to take the entire ship down.
