  1. Dealing with Discipline

  2. You’ve Messed up… now what? • Fess up! • Better that the boss hears it from you • Apologize • Identify that your behavior was inappropriate • Explain • Allow boss to understand your mindset • Repair • Fix the issue, or face consequences • Keep your grace about you. • Pray? Hope your relationship is good with your boss/company and you are forgiven.

  3. You’ve Been Wrongfully Accused • Written up unfairly? Fight back~ • Write a rebuttal

  4. Your job review didn’t go well • They say you do a bad job • You think differently • Share your thoughts in a rebuttal!

  5. After a Bad Review • Assess your report in light of company’s culture • Tough reviews might be normal • Most reviews need at least one point of constructive criticism. • Calculate boss’ strategy • Might be forced to ‘grade on a curve’ • Wants to get your attention • Might be another agenda (get you to quit)

  6. After a Bad Review • Get the facts • If boss says your project was finished late, ask for dates and times. • If you’re criticized for interpersonal relationships, ask for specific instances • Delay your response • Ask for a second meeting • Allows you to collect your thoughts • Consult human resources or an attorney, if needed • NEVER discuss your review with your co-workers.

  7. After a Bad Review • Back up a rebuttal with facts, not emotion • Collect letters of appreciation • Dates/times of project completions • Statistics on how you helped the company • Avoid jumping to conclusions or a new job

  8. Rebuttal- Purpose • Get your side of the story heard • May change immediate consequence • Written record of discipline will be taken into account later in your employment • Annual job review • Raises are determined • Lay-offs • Companies let go least effective employee • Your rebuttal can offset later action

  9. Tips • Do not exceed one page in length. • A clear, concise rebuttal will be more effective in helping the reader understand your point of view • Avoid the urge to convey too much information about the adverse incident or evaluation. • Too much information will likely confuse the reader and negate the persuasive impact of your rebuttal.

  10. Tips Con’t • Avoid negative, defensive statements. • For example, resist the urge to be defensive and state: “Co-worker Smith deserved my sharp comments.” • A more positive and effective approach would be to say: “My interactions with co-workers are always professional and appropriate.”

  11. Tips Con’t • Take responsibility where you need to • Honesty makes your rebuttal more credible.
