A manager shares the following experience of hiring and supervising a Gen Y employee who kept telling him, “I think you are going to be really impressed.”
“She was very smart and she did high-quality work, in a whole other league than people with much more experience. But her work habits were horrendous. Where do I begin? She came in late, left early, took long breaks, and missed days of work. She lied about it too, always making excuses. She dressed inappropriately. She cursed a blue streak. She did great work, but very little of it. So I was impressed and then again I wasn’t. In some ways she was superb. But she was just lacking the basics.”
