update: my employee makes up words and is impossible to understand
- An update has been shared on the employee who made up words and was impossible to understand, whose story was previously featured in a letter to Ask a Manager.
- The writer of the original letter attempted to follow the advice of grounding discussions with the employee in creating a shared understanding, but ultimately opted to focus on work quality issues instead.
- This approach did not go much better, as the employee continued to make up nonsensical words and phrases during conversations about performance.
- The employee's language choices and pronunciation have caused confusion and left the writer feeling gaslit about their communication abilities.
- The situation has been complicated further by the revelation that the employee is listed as currently working at another company in an identical role, despite being full-time in their current job.
- When asked about this, the employee denied it and HR did not pursue the matter any further.
- The writer has become disenchanted with their current employer and is considering a job change in the future.
- They have decided to stop trying to improve the problem with the employee in question and instead focus on finding a new role elsewhere.
- They have been open with their boss and HR about the difficulties in managing this employee, but have not received much support.
- The writer concludes by saying that they hope the next time they write in, it will be with a new and interesting problem at a new job.
