Deal with a Rude, Arrogant and Mean Subordinate

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

An employee who is rude, arrogant and mean can disrupt workplace productivity, intimidate coworkers, corrupt a team and lead to potential legal or safety problems for a business. Dealing with aggressive and antagonistic behavior is challenging for any manager. Resolution of this disruptive employee issue requires planning and confident action to avoid legal problems for you or your company.

Document the behavior: Include dates, a detailed description of each incident and who reported/witnessed it.

  • Evaluate the behavior: Is the behavior directed to you, customers, coworkers? How aggressive is the behavior? Is the employee experiencing a personal issue or problem that could be causing the behavior?
  • Review the company employee manual for guidelines on employee disciplinary process.
  • Contact your company’s Human Resource Department to get support and guidance. If your company does not have a Human Resources Professional, you may want to discuss a plan of action with your immediate supervisor or a Human Resources Consultant.
  • Establish a plan of disciplinary action based on your documentation, evaluation, company guidelines or Human Resource consultant recommendations. Most company employee manuals use a version of a progressive disciplinary plan for addressing employee behavior or performance issues. Typical disciplinary plans include the following - Verbal discussion and warning, Written warning (up to three occurrences),Termination.
    • Verbal Discussion and Warning: The purpose of a verbal warning is to let the employee know that they are doing something that is not acceptable in the workplace. It's also an opportunity to resolve the situation. Keep in mind that the employee may not be aware that they are behaving in an offensive way. This face-to-face meeting may require from 15 minutes to an hour to complete. Be open, calm and confident in your approach. In a direct way, provide specific examples of the offensive behavior and ask the employee if there is an explanation for their actions. Even though you are giving the employee a chance to explain their behavior, it is important to be clear to say that the behavior is not acceptable. If the employee is open to coaching or training to improve their communication skills, schedule a meeting to discuss. Provide the employee with a copy of the page/s in the employee manual where the disciplinary procedure is explained. After the meeting, document what was said or agreed upon.
    • Warning Letter: If the employee continues to act in an arrogant, rude or mean way, it is important to address the behavior immediately with a letter of warning. Inconsistency on your part will only make the problem worse. In the warning letter, provide a short review of the past discussion and verbal warning. Then, clearly state the specific behavior or action leading to the written warning along with the date it occurred.
    • Termination: If the employee's behavior has not improved after three warnings, termination should be considered. Consult your Human Resource Manager or direct supervisor before terminating any employee.
    • Manager Tips: To build your confidence and prepare for antagonistic responses from the employee in a verbal warning meeting, role play with another company manager.
    • If the employee's behavior is violent or creates a dangerous situation for the company or employees of the company, immediate termination should be considered.
    • If your company does not have an employee manual or policies for fair employee treatment, it (and you) could be at greater legal risk for actions in hiring, managing and discipline of employees.

    Supercharge Your Weight Loss

    You want to lose weight--and fast. But most speedy slim-down plans are not only ineffective, but they can be downright dangerous. How can you shed pounds quickly without compromising your health? The key is following a moderate diet and exercise plan and revving up your metabolism to burn more calories. Follow these tips to give your metabolism a jump-start so you can lose weight both quickly and safely.



    Eat your breakfast. Not eating the first meal of the day can send your body into "starvation mode," encouraging it to horde, rather than burn, calories. In fact, several studies have shown that breakfast eaters are generally slimmer than those who don't eat the first meal of the day. Be sure to eat a healthy breakfast of 300 to 400 calories every morning.
    Eat small meals and snacks throughout the day. Extending the time between meals or skipping them altogether can slow down your metabolism. So try to eat something every three to four hours. Rather than consuming one or two large meals, opt for four to six small meals and snacks throughout the day.
    Get moving. Doing at least 30 to 40 minutes of aerobic activity five days a week, as well as strength-training exercises, will boost your calorie-burning power. The best part? Because muscle burns more calories than fat, you'll speed up your metabolism even when your body's at rest.
    Spice it up. Red pepper boosted metabolism following a meal. When male athletes sprinkled red pepper on high-carb meals, they boosted both their resting and active metabolic rates.
    Drink plenty of water. Drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day is not only essential to staying hydrated; it can also promote weight loss by making you feel full.Drinking water can elevate your metabolism by up to 30 percent.
    Get the proper amount of rest. It's no secret that people who don't get their z's are more prone to weight gain.Sleep regenerates lean muscle tissue and boosts metabolism, while a lack of sleep slows the rate at which your body burns calories. For best results, try to get seven to eight hours' rest every night.

    Find Out Who your Best Friend Are

    Have you ever been betrayed by your best friends? Do you think your best friend is a real friend or a fake?


    Ask her if she can go with you on errands. If she says yes but afterwards refuses, you know she's a goner.
    Ask her if she could stay with you after school. If she says yes, but then says she has other plans, you know she probably doesn't want to be with you.
    Call her to talk at night; if she talks for a while, then says she has to go without a reasonable explanation (or makes up a "reasonable explanation" every time), she's probably not a true friend.
    Watch if you're always the one starting conversations. If she doesn't email or call you like she used to, she is probably not your best friend anymore.

    Warnings:

    • Stay away from the people who change after one year of school.
    • Stay away from the people who try to be something that they aren't.
    • Stay away from all the people that hurt you.
    • Just stay with the friends that know all your secrets and that are loyal to you. It doesn't matter if you have just one best friend because at the end you will be happy with that one friend of yours. Just remember this: The bad people always laugh at the moment, but the good people always laugh harder at the end!
    • Just stay with a friend that is happy because you are happy even if he/she is too sad i.g if she was broke up with her boyfriend she still will be happy if you are happy in a moment if you are talking about your beatiful life with your love. this is true friend.


    • Watch out for people who become your friend only after you become popular, or win a prize, or achieve something special. These "friends" are more than likely out for popularity and do not really care about you as a friend. Never ever get in a fight because your friend did one thing wrong, and if they do tell them what they did. If you are the friend who took things to far say your sorry and you love them and gave them time and space them say you sorry again and try to explain your side of the story.
