Sounds like a scene straight from Righteous Gemstones season 3.

We once read some Christian servant leadership focused business book. One lesson talked about how Jesus washed some other dude's dirty feet. And someone in the group suggested that we, as a company demonstration of this idea, could all get together and literally not figuratively wash each other's feet.

Should've advised them that the lowest person in the household (company) is the one who would wash the feet. And the highest up in the HH(company) get's to anoint them with oil.

You telling me Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the low man? FOH. CEO needs to get his bucket and start scrubbing toes.

Depends on the feet

I recently started managing someone who I just cannot stand as a person. Like their voice is nails on a chalkboard to me and they also went over my head to say they didn't want to report to me like immediately after they were told to report to me. (My boss immediately told me and made fun of them for not having an alternative in mind). I like to separate the fact that I hate their guts from the work, but the work isn't all that great and they could easily be replaced.

any tips on how to manage this situation?

Impossible to know without knowing the year of their birth.

Seems like you’ve made up your mind to replace them. So I’d say find their replacement and then give them notice.

Can I just fire someone because I don't like them?

I’m not sure how your HR operates but I would say with about a 95% certainty yes.

No idea what NY labor laws are like but I want to say yes. Or you could just manage them out, pull some office space Lumburg type stuff and make them work weekends or something until they leave.

The answer is "it depends." What form did "going over your head" take? Is this person a member of any protected groups? Do you have any electronic communications trashing this person, other than in this thread? Is this person the litigious type?

Maybe he feels the same way about you  Reach out and just try and get him moved and maybe you will both be happy.

The fact they went over his head and didn't even take the time to have an alternative to suggest tells you they are not intelligent.  If their work is already so-so, it's not going to get better.

Just tell HR that "you don't like their energy".   It worked for Rebekah Paltrow Neuman.

I had a direct report like that. I was a professional and just dealt with it because annoying dudes need to feed their families too. He eventually left on his own which was awesome.

To be fair I think I'm also annoyed with this person's performance too

[star seed 7]

Well yeah, this dude was barely above acceptable and took way more of my time than his peers. He would have been first on the list if we needed to cut people but barely above acceptable is still above acceptable.

Sounds like you need to hit the portal for a grad transfer

doesn't sound like micat is here to elevate

My favorite thing about this is that one of the things I remember most about working in an office is how often people simply pretended to work. Some had it down to a rough ridin' art form. Like, I think I'll just grab this random piece of paper off my desk and go for an afternoon long walkabout.

My first job out of college was a small family company (40 ish employees) and the daughter was some sort of VP who didn't do much but would constantly walk past my desk looking like she was in a hurry to go do something like pickup stuff from the printer.

My coworker and I would make a bet in the morning on how many times she would walk by that day. O/U was usually close to 20.
