Probationary period - failing to meet job

Mov

nope not a troll, just someone who was genuinely seeking advice, but instead got a pointless character assassination.
Wasn't going to bother coming on forum again, but guess I couldn't resist to see what other rubbish was being said!
Thanks Epatolles, glad someone has commonsense!
I don't know why some people keep coming back and posting over and over again! I already said I wasn't vaguely interested in what they have to say. Go and find something better to do with your time than spending hours on a forum where people like me don't give a damn what you say anyhow. Shouldn't you be out earning some money and being breadwinners ;-)
Signing off yet again. Will try not to take a sneaky peek later to see what rubbish is said next (anger management/aspergers/autism/troll/selfish/bad mother etc). But repeat posters , please note, you are making me laugh.So in your own queer way, you have really cheered me up! So thanks.
bye

What did you actually want then, you say you wanted advice for your oh on how to do better in the last month of his probation and if this is true why put everything else in the post.

You could have just asked something along the lines of, 'My op is on a trial and he is not doing well and has been told to improve dramatically over the next month otherwise he won't get a full time contrct'

If you had put this I would have put that he should be conversing with the management as to what is exactly required from him, going in early if required to learn more about the job, staying late if required, reading up on the job, look at techniques involved in the job, look at the aspects that are letting him down and see if there were any practical ways of solving these.

But you didn't and I didn't. And don't worry I will not reply on here because even though the advice I gave you was sound you don't want to listen so fair enough

What a strange individual you are

Have you always found it so difficult to accept criticism?

Its not often I read one of jd's posts and agree with it.

Can't help but think that if the OP's child ever fails at something more than once, their life will be made hell.

Always a first huh

Edit...Wasn't meant to reply on here again...sorry OP!

The real problem here is all the monitoring and target setting which goes on in the work place today (haven't they realised yet that this is what caused the banking crisis?)

It can turn a perfectly competent person into a nervous wreck, also it can be twisted any way the management want.

Whatever happened to just putting in an honest days work, and being spoken to constructively if you're not up to scratch, and leaving it at that?

Can you let us know what line of work your OH is in? Might make things easier to understand..........

I am intrigued as to how the performance monitoring of an admin worker sent our country into recession?! :rotfl:

Well perhaps a Google search for inappropriate selling of banking products would be a starting point for you in your quest for knowledge...

What a nasty piece of work, yes you OP.

Splitting up just because of your bloke is having a hard time at work.

Go ahead do him a favour.
