How to Deal with Employees Who Don't Follow Instructions

[@binilee4753]

Some employee are a law onto themselves, once managers condone and ignore some staff bad behaviour, they loose the respect for the manager. The situation becomes toxic an disorganised making it hard to have academic and practical growth.

I have two employees I've had to have multiple talks with about this very thing. I'm baffled as to why I constantly have to repeat myself. I've had them go in on the weekend to fix what they've neglected to do during the week, if our weekend staff has to call me about whatever it was they dropped the ball on. I've had to write one employee up over it. Sadly, I have to micromanage both of them. One is a millenial and the other is Gen Z. I'm GenX so I seriously loathe having to do this, and hate having to repeat myself. They have the tools they need to do their job... they just need someone looking over their shoulders, and constantly following up or checking in with them throughout the day to make sure they're doing what they're supposed to. I guess being GenX, I'm used to being given a task and just getting it done, without my bosses having to babysit me.

It can be a tough cycle to break, the good news is it comes from you, you can take control. If you want further support book a consultation www.silkhelix.co.uk/free-consultation/

Oh my gosh - I could have written this. It’s like there’s no pride or accountability; if I’m corrected I’m darn sure remembering to do it as instructed/correctly the next time. But nope! Or they do it correctly when you’re overseeing but the next attempt they forget everything you showed/told/and they did. I swear it’s gaslighting lol

I feel like when I read this my thoughts have been written by someone - I have this exact same issue and exact same team setup! I sit until late evenings tidying the tasks up thinking if I do this in the morning they’ll hit the ground running and actually I end up the next evening sitting and rinse repeat - more often than not I feel like if I just terminated them and picked it up myself whilst it would stretch my capacity it would do wonders for my stress levels!

Here is what I do not understand about your advice. If I am paying an employees salary, I should not have to ask him or her why they are not following instructions and company policies. They should do what they are told because they are getting paid. Of course, we are not asking anyone to do anything unethical or dishonest. We are just asking them to do the job that they are receiving money to do. I should not have to plead with employees by asking them why they do not following company policies and instructions.
