I'm creating a performance improvement plan for one of my direct reports because he "talks too much and farts too loud and it's creating a distracting environment".
-
@WhiskeySandwich which of his two transgressions is causing the distraction?
-
Start chewing your food
No more beer
Reduce consumption of cabbage and cruciferous vegetables by 50% or more
If all else fails, go to the bathroom you absolute savage

LOL there are several issues going on. The employee has had several complaints - loud and excessively long conversations unrelated to work causing distractions, engaging in blatant and excessive entertainment media on the job (youtube usage), and as a result, just being slow to complete their work....and loud farting. All of which takes away from productivity of the employee and those around. There have been several complaints and several informal warnings and talks. Of course formal documentation has to be corporate-appropriate and PC, etc.... so for the improvement plan portion covering farting, we're going with "When possible, excuse yourself during the execution of bodily functions that may be distracting or considered inappropriate."
-
basically, get to work and try not to be disgusting.

Inappropriate is a subjective thing. I'm guessing that in his circle of friends and family, he likely gets a high-five for an exceptionally loud bodily function.....
-
"inappropriate" IS subjective, yes. All those around him consider it inappropriate and have complained. I'd prefer to be more clear and tell him to leave the room when he does that shit, before he clears the room. I'll surely do this verbally though, and not on the official documentation.

Its one thing to rip all day into your seat cushion... if you can keep it under control. But to blast for glory....this isn't the place for that.

In hindsight, there were so many ways I could have handled it better, that is, make him look like an even more complete cunt, but in the heat of the moment, I failed....
Staring down a yapper without giving him the dignity of a reply thats master class shit there Giles.
Too bad you couldnt put a wesco on his armrest
