I’ve been there. I feel your pain. Especially when the people in question don’t hesitate to speak bluntly/inappropriately… gotta be the adult and not just tell them how it is.
You’ve shown positive improvement in a few areas but are still below the expected overall level. We will continue to monitor your performance and provide feedback over the next while. We do encourage you sign up for training sessions and courses that can improve your skills.
My version would have been ‘Shape up or fuck off’ but that’s acceptable apparently.
Just had to give some ‘constructive feedback’ to a team member about their recent performance and what they need to do to improve.
It had to be formal and diplomatic, not exactly my favourite approach but so be it.
Our internal policy is very much tailored in a way as to never come off negative and always show support.
It’s very difficult when dealing with an absolute moron.

This person is not blunt, just useless…so maybe like a blunt sword.
I’m secretly drinking a beer out of a mug right now to deal with the rest of the day.

Aren’t you government? I thought it’d take actually murdering someone in the building to get fired.
Accepting bribes is a good way to get fired too. Sadly, this person is too dumb to do any of that, so we’re stuck with them.
I’m considering a polite bullying strategy that makes them miserable so they leave, but don’t have the heart to do that.
