Question
Employees of Bearden Construction Company have begun to complain regularly about Josh Randall. They say that his behavior has become unpredictable and that he blows up at the slightest provocation. One employee even said, “This guy is going to hurt somebody.” To each complaint, the supervisor’s response is the same: “Be patient. Josh is a good man. He’s just dealing with some personal problems right now. He’ll get over it.” What do you think of the supervisor’s response to employee concerns? How do you think this situation should be handled?
Explanation / Answer
I think the supervisor handelled the situation correctly as he has been working with joah for a long time and he must be knowing about Josh. After the complaints against Josh he must have talked about that with Josh and asked him to improve his behaviour. There might be some genuine reason that supervisor have had let Josh wotk with that behaviour.
In my opinion, supervisor should have given strict instructions to Josh to not to repeat his behaviour and if there is some issue in his personal life then he should take a day or two off and sort that out. If he had some professional issue/work related issues then instread of using harsh tone and language he should give them written warning of pay deduction and loss of job but he should behave properly.
