In the simplest sense, managers and employees are in a relationship. As with all relationships, there are a few deal breakers — the things one person does that drive the other crazy. I consistently hear about five pet peeves, in particular, that bother employees.
I can't stand it when my manager….
- Sends a cryptic message asking to see me.
- Makes it a "group" thing when it's not.
- Says he or she will follow up and then doesn't.
- Delivers a lower-than-expected performance review and fails to give any reasons why or any advice on how to improve.
- Runs a poor meeting.
