Got to the sentence about how managers should be having one-on-one’s quarterly. Lol, if you’re leaving a fresh college grad hire out there for three months at a stretch, you bet ChatGPT is going to do a better job.
On the other hand, one of mine thinks she deserves a promotion because her electricity bill was so much higher in winter than she was expecting. If I can send her to ChatGPT for questions like that, that would be great, thanks.
Maybe what she needs help with from ChatGPT is translating her actual request to language you’d better understand.
“Hi person who has undue influence over my well-being, it turns out that the increased amount of work I’ve been doing at home has led to an unexpected increase in incurred personal costs. Ideally, these should be offset by work. Given I am skeptical you’d authorize any kind of reimbursement or a relative pay raise to cover these costs for their own sake, I’m instead coming to you to suggest a promotion prompted by my sudden increased incurred costs which are in part on your behalf. This is also justified based on my work history and the ways in which my pay hasn’t kept track with market rates for comparable labor. I would encourage you to consider the transactional costs of finding a replacement at current market rates and factor those into the value you put on my retention as you consider this request, as without being able to pay my bills I may be forced to seek other employment which you will only know about if I succeed at max two weeks out from my disappearance.”
Except it would be worded more like this:
Could ChatGPT explain to her when she doesn’t actually have any leverage at all?
We all make decisions. If she wants to leave, now would actually be a pretty good time for her to do so and to find a better paying position if she can. If she chooses to stay, I will continue to train her and offer her development opportunities and work with her to put a promotion justification package together after she’s been in position for a bit longer that won’t be immediately turned down.
It’s preposterous that you’re being downvoted. Middle management doesn’t control salaries, you don’t get promotions and raises after 3 months, and utility bills are variable with season. Your employee is someone starting to learn about adulting. I think you’re being admittedly harsh, but with fair reasoning.
