Rough day at work.

saffronhareI know a lot of folks gripe about their managers here, but damn. One of the people I manage has me seriously longing for the days when I could just lock somebody up against the wall and haze 'em until they crumpled.
SRSLY
Not that I think that's best practice or anything. But still. ::sigh::
I've got an appointment set up with MY boss on Monday to see if she's got any other ideas for getting timely and better-quality work out of this person, shy of sacrificing 40% of my own productivity to micromanage her immovable object ass into getting things done on time.
My sympathy for her as a Vulnerable Person, should layoffs come around again, is rapidly eroding in the face of the reality that the other writers churn out four to five times the amount of work; and that I tend not to assign her new work because I know it her existing work isn't getting done. I really, really hate that.
Reviews are coming up in August, too. Ack.
