How should I control a moody employee while he is neglecting his work and asking for huge salary raise also?

First off, are they worth the raise?  If so it is best to sit with this employee and explain that if they want this huge raise they will  have to improve their attitude/moodiness.  Give them a type of probationary period like 90 days and if they improve then go ahead with the raise.  This employee may not even know it.  And always start out with a positive...a good thing about this employee.  You dont want all negatives.

Ask your boss. They aren't yours anymore!\nWhy quit something and keep trying to control it?

Have a 'pizza' day or the like.  (Bribery can go a long way :) )\n\nHave group projects to get them to have more teamwork and get along better.\n\nStand up for them. (try to show that you, as the boss, are the same as them, the employee) - but not so much that you're not still seen as the boss!

I understand how frustating that could be but don't get yourself all worked up over it.  Keep doing what you are supposed to do.  Don't worry about your co-worker.  I'm pretty sure that your employer will catch up to him or her eventually.

Talk to her...tell her how much you value her as a worker, and all the reasons why you do; but explain that it would be helpful if she adopted a little bit more of a professional behavior on the emotional part. Ask her to practice at expressing her problems in a reasoned, unemotional way; and to consider that there are other people working with her who can not keep trying to adjust to her varying needs. \nGood luck.

hi there . my advice to you is to address the situation straight away as you are getting very angry and this can be resolved before the situation becomes untentable! \nthis is a common accurance and can be simply remedied by expressing your concerns as to your situation at work and impact it is having or could have on your job and frienship . The longer you leave it the harder it will be to broach and the outcome will be seen as you being the bady .good luck with it\nRegards.\n Adrian

ask for a raise and discuss this in a civil way with your boss.does you boss realise you are doign most of the work? may be you are too soft and cant say no so you tend to be walked over?

This is tricky. I would talk to the manager above your manager. Tell them as genuinely as possible that you really enjoy the company and the opportunity they have given you. Explain that you are concerned about an employee that is not pulling their weight and you dont want to see team morale drop because of this... and then you mention that OTHERS have told you there may be a relationship. \nOnce you bring this issue forward (you may want to bring a witness) they cant let you go due to performance w/o the chance of you sueing them for wrongful dismissal. I would also let them know that you enjoy working with this person (even if you dont) but only when they are working as they should. This way it doesnt sound like a personal problem. \nGood luck

Give your boss a good smack in the mouth. You should see changes taking place shortly afterwards. Glad to be of help.

Appoint one of them as the supervisor. Hold him personally responsible for all of the tasks that need to be performed daily.\n\nSee how fast they fall into line.  No one will take a fall for someone who works under them.

For the first month at least, unless your boss specifically instructs you otherwise, I would aim to be as non assertive as possible.  \n\nI'm not saying let yourself get run over, abused, or pushed in the wrong direction.  But don't come in trying to overhaul and change everything, acting like you have all the answers.  Learn the current way of doing things, and the current culture.  Get to know the style of your boss, and the styles of your co-workers.  \n\nA second idea is to touch base with your boss at least twice a day, giving him or her 30 second updates on what you are doing, how it is going, etc.  Tell him or her about how you handled some event, phone call, or transaction that happened, even something which seems fairly routine.  This will show the boss you care, and also give your boss an opportunity to redirect you if you unintentionally happen to be doing something wrong.

You can pay him under the table, just be sure you don't short him on his hours!

Q1. I would ask employee A's boss (which I believe would not be me) to do the following or I would do it myself. I would ask employee A to stay after the meeting ended or I would make some time to have a brief meeing with employee A in my office. I would say I apologize for not being able to tell you before the meeting that I was going to give project #3 to employee B. I would tell employee A how much I value their dedication and their work and tell them the reason why I chose to give project#3 to employeeB (because there were several projects that have the same deadline or I wanted you (employee A) to focus on the most important projects). The last thing I would do is give employee A an opportunity to ask any questions regarding the changes I made.\n\nQ2. First of all, the only private phone call that would make me late for an important meeting with my boss would be an emergency. I would call my boss immediately after the emergency phone call and say "I am sorry but I but I am going to be 10 mins. late for our meeting due to an emergency phone call. Ask if that is going to be okay, it gives your boss the option of rescheduling the meeting with you,if he has other committments. You could explain what the emergency was but,depending on the nature of the emergency, you don't have to go into detail. When you get to the meeting you could once again apologize for being late for the meeting. If the meeting involves more people than just your boss, I would make a general apology to every one for being late and holding up the meeting. No explanation as to reason when it involves more than your boss or a group of people. \n\nQ3. I would say I am sorry I lost my temper when you asked me to help you with that math problem. I would tell him/her if it was because I had a headache but not tell my child that I reacted that way because of worry about bills, argument with husband, no need to burden a child and cause them unnecessary worry. Is there something about subtraction that you don't understand? I would let them know I want them to come to me whenever they need my help (there are many situations I would not want my child to resolve on their own ex: being bullied or treatened by someone), but not for homework they know how to do.

You are probley too nice. Show them you wont take anymore mess in a way that wont get you fired.Call off a couple of times. If they feel you are a valued employee they should cut you some slack. If not quit.

There are so many of us who eventually have to face this situation. You can not change other people or control how they act BUT you have all the power in the world to control how YOU act. Be professional and cordial because this will only work towards your benefit. This is your job. Don't let anyone ruin that for you. It may be difficult but you'll be a lot less irritated if you keep a reasonable distance and maintain short , professional interactions. And exhale afterwards and let it go. Don't hang on to the irritation after you're gone home. Leave the bad feelings behind. It will make going to work so much easier.
