I feel bad, please help me. is this guilt ??? |
hi people. im a 19 y/o college student. im working at a software editor and business cosulting company this summer. and since im the best english speaker in our office ( we're not native english speakers ) i do the new employees evaluation on the basis of english speaking and presentation skills. so we have this new employee that is doing a month of.. lets say trial period. so we gave him the material that he's gonna talk about in his presentation and waited him for like 10 days to prepare. and yesterday was the presentation... the english was a desaster. presentation was not prepared well, all the talking didnt even explain a bit about our software and so on. to sumthings up... it was a total waste of time.. so i wrote my notes and went to the manager. and told him that that guy is not qualified enough and should be given a chance for another presentation after 2 weeks. so if he did good on i the;ll remain and if not then he'll be out. and the manager agreed on that since it was Hey, You did the right thing! You have nothing to feel guilty about whatsoever! Good for you for being honest and allowing your manager your thoughts. It is in the employee that was being evaluated best interest to be given another opportunity to get re-evaluated and two weeks is ample time for them to be prepared. You took a very responsible stand and should be commended for your concern of the employee, your expectations as an employee for the company and honesty to your manager. Your guilt is simply a waste of worry...keep up the great work! i just dont have the time to read all this You made an objective decision based on the circumstances. While it is unfortunate and may cost the person their job, it is not beneficial to the company to retain those who are not qualified to work there. You are feeling guilt as you feel you are responsible for dis-qualifying the guy, and you feel sympathy because the guy did not do well. You didn't do anything "bad" so much as you had to make a choice with "bad" effects. There's a difference. It's never easy to make the tough decisions, since many of them can mean bad things for otherwise good people. To do so and not feel anything means that you're too jaded to be making such a decision. Accept and be comforted by the fact that you're trying to give the guy a second chance and it's up to him whether he takes advantage of that or not. Well first your Highness, take a deep breath. I'm afraid that's your job to do what you did. You shouldn't feel bad at all. You may want to give him a little extra help and tell him that you'd like to see him succeed. If it makes you feel better, you may even choose to tell him what you HAD to tell your boss. Good Luck! you should not feel guilty. You are asked to do a job and you did your job professionally. People are not always qualified to do a job, and if they don't do it properly then you have to be honest and review the person accurately. If you would like to see the guy succeed, find some way for him to start learning English and some speech basics so that way he will at least get past the second review. The reason you feel guilt is because you feel compassion, which is not a bad thing at all. |
