Quick update on this - Apparently he just told a bunch of folks in the dining room that he was up until 4am doing monitoring (the shift was from 7-11 so not sure why he was up that late, and if he was - it means that research didn't get notes until it's too late to react). He also said that he will never do monitoring again even if we assign it to him, and that the researchers should just watch and take notes on the TV that he books.

Everyone does monitoring. All he had to do was sit and watch fox news (his old network, where he books most of his TV) for 4 hours and take notes, like everybody else. It's not tough, but he thinks the rules don't apply to him. And soon enough the rest of the team will begin to imitate his behavior if he is continually rewarded for not doing his job.

That's your perception, and it's wrong. He's not delivering on media monitoring, and I'm going to push him on that. But he has been a rock star on the bookings, and it has paid off big time with our presence with Brooklyn and the networks, and for the DNC to look serious. I asked him to book you more on radio to get you up to speed, so you too will benefit from that. We had a shitty booking operation before, we're more than competitive now. It's not nothing.

Less concerned about TJ, who delivers.
More concerned about morale on the team when they see Pablo fucking up and being let off the hook, and they see him not coming in to work with no pushback.
Nobody wants to get up and monitor coverage on a Sunday morning but it's part of the job. If they see others on the team ignore responsibility with impunity, they will start following suit.

I'm not sure it'll hold with TJ. You've given him warnings, so just hold on to the prior documentation, in case you need it again.

Just me talking to him. Not sure that approach will work with Pablo.

Meaning since HR raised it with him? Or just you talking to him. If he's listening to you now, that's great.

He hasn't taken an unexcused absence since I brought it up.

At what point do we elevate to HR? You asked me to hold TJ accountable for the same thing. Bad behavior just leads to worse behavior.

We need monitoring done tonight. As per yesterday's conversation, if we're rewarding his incompetence/insubordination by taking him off of sunday rotation, least we can do is would make him do more monitoring. Has he reached out to you about why he isn't here?
