YES

NEVER KNOW IF ANYONE HAS EVER STOPPED HER IN HER TRACKS. SOMETIMES YOUNG PEOPLE WE TAKE EVERYTHING FOR GRANTED AND TIME JUST PASS US BY BECAUSE WERE LIVING BUT NOT WITH OUR EYES OPEN. SHE MAY HAVE SOME POTENTIAL!

DO IT IN A SISTERLY WAY!

Naw - that sisterley way ain't gonna work. I NEVER do the 'sista' thang on the J....... especially since she is the HR running to type mofo..... I got TOO much riding on my reputation to let HER be the cause of any issues for me.

I think you should... For me, I didnt have anyone there to show me the ropes and what not.. So, I had to learn alot of things on my own. And it was very hard...But becuase it was hard and I know how it feels, every chance I get, I try to show some of my younger brotheren some things.

I am struggling with whether or not to have this talk with this chick. While she needs to be told - she is also the type to react with some HR complaint or bullshiot mess starting with the rest of my staff. She has the potential - but just isn't putting in her full effort.

So - should I or shouldn't I try to talk to her and give her this feedback?????

Mack While I am all for the "give a sister a chance thingy"...sounds like she is ignorant as hell and your helping her would only lead to her making a complaint and you getting pissed the hell off and running her over with your new whip

Naw, but serioulsy you can't help everyone and to tell you the truth when I was 22 I was hard-headed as hell, I could see if she was a "mature" 22 yr old with some sense, but it sounds like she anit....so I would just chill on that one...but you do get an "A" for effort! Just my 2 cents

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely who others think you are!

You just said she had "potential". If there is potential there, maybe she needs to realize it. At 22, chances are she's probably never had a "real job" before now and, frankly, doesn't know how to act professionally.

She has to learn that, whether its good or bad, we, as Black people, have to live in a world of what double consciousness and that she has to learn to discern when to jump in and out of ghetto fabulousness.

If you do it in the right way, I don't think she will overreact and go to HR. Just try to keep this lil intervention positive. Someone sat me down early in my career and schooled me to some things, and I appreciate it to this very day.

Trina,
Now would be a perfect time to act as a mentor to this young woman, assuming she wants one. Because she wants to grow in the company, it would be to her advantage. Also, as a mentor, it makes you look good especially if she DOES excel in time.

The way to approach her is to do so as a mentor. If you come at her like "Uh, you really need to clean up your act.." or anything like that, she may not be receptive.

Thanks D...my thoughts exactly. Good Point!

When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism.

Don't know if you should or shouldn't BUT, if you decide to talk to her you should start by telling her what you told us. I mean, about how someone sat you down and talked to you and it got you to where you are today. Then maybe she can see where you are coming from and really listen and learn.
