Basically this guy works under me but another side of the business needed some help so one day a week he'd go help there. Little did I know at the time he volunteered because he developed a crush with someone there. Now he spends 4 days a week there. And from what people say he never leaves her side. Management on that side wont take care of it because they are basically worthless. The issue is upper management is getting mad at me because "he's my guy" when I didn't hire him or anything a few years ago.

Is it cutting into his work productivity? Has she filed any complaints regarding the attention he gives her?
If you're his manager, then manage him. Tell him he can't work on that side of the business 4 days a week. --- http://i.imgur.com/1yl1fH0.jpg the White-Sounding Black Chick ... Copied to Clipboard!

This depends if the relation interferes with the productivity.

Yes, definitely interferes with productivity. He also tries to play hero and take on jobs he can't really do. They wanted to add hooks to the ceiling of the market and he came back to our shop to get tools. He asked for a stud finder and we don't have one. After a few more questions I determined he didn't even know what a stud is.
Another time the vacuum cleaner broke and wouldn't turn on. From what I gathered he tried for about an hour to fix it in front of his crush. thank god he didn't break it since it was a Dyson. I have staff that can find studs and hang hooks and I have staff that can fix electrical shit. --- Lubricant? I've been using it as hair gel >.>-BTB When in doubt whip it out. ...

He's on the schedule for that side nothing I can do for that other than say "hey why is he scheduled over here so much he is supposed to be working for me" which I already did but ignored. Honestly I didn't even care he was working there so much he wasn't the best worker. I only care because I'm getting shit from upper management. --- Lubricant?

Maybe you should talk to his crush. Don't know exactly what you would say to her, but that might be able to help you out.

It'll only get worse if they get together then break up. Not to mention office romance can sometimes lead to lawsuits. Are there rules about employee dating? You could just sit down and hash it out with him over coffee or something, or make him sign a declaration that he acknowledges the risks of his behaviour and may be terminated if things become unprofessional. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ...

RCtheWSBC posted...Is it cutting into his work productivity? Has she filed any complaints regarding the attention he gives her? Normally, I'd agree. But if they do get together and break up, he would probably try to avoid that side of business and get back to the you're on. And won't be trying to constantly impress his crush. --- 3DS Friend Code: 4742 6214 5315 Add Me because I'll probably add you. I'm probably the LinkPizza you'll see around. 0001 3388 9537, also. ...

Tell him to get a room and stop slacking right in front of both of them I considered it lol. Not sure if I want to do that to the girl though. I doubt the feelings are mutual. --- Lubricant? I've been using it as hair gel >.>-BTB When in doubt whip it out. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'd take him aside and give him some direct, firm warning of sorts. Tell him that management and colleagues have reported a drop in his performance and that he need to rectify this or face formal consequences.

Just sit down with them separately and see what their thoughts are and if you think it's problematic, simply point out that work needs to come first. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ...

You only care because his lack of performance is affecting you? That's fucked up.
You should be caring because his lack of performance is reflecting negatively against him and upper management is asking middle management to handle it which could result in him losing his job. Not everything is about you.

Nothing like having the manager play wingman for a guy into a girl that doesn't seem to like him back. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ... Copied to Clipboard!

It sounds like your job doesn't really have any clear or defined roles. The do whatever you feel like model might work for valve but it sounds like you guys need some actual structure.
