-Taking more than an hour lunch (about 1.5 or 2 hrs). Easy to keep records on.

-Distracting the student workers with constant chatting. When you see it, log it.

-Dressing unprofessionally. Easy to take a picture of with Cell phone each time it occurs.

-Taking directions from her mother, without consulting me. How are you determing this?

-Having too many personal phone calls. Can you get this from the phone logs? Also easy to spot when you go by.

They can try but you have done what you can by putting folks on alert. Be vigilant but not paralyzed by this. People talk and consipire all the time. Doesn't mean anything ever comes of it.

If you just keep doing your job at a high level you will likely be fine.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
