The lack of recall led to severe perf problems. He had a hard time fixing bugs quickly on code he had written. A significant change from the past, I presume he has started smoking a lot of weed.
- serjester 5y agoThis sounds more like they’re burned out. Subordinates going from great to terrible usually means the business is failing them, not they suddenly “started smoking a lot of weed”. I would take a hard look at your job as a manager.
- gremloni 5y agoNo, he smells like pot.
- ageofwant 5y agoPerhaps you should consider your part in that. Or if you could have had a more positive impact on his life apart from kicking him when he was down.
- gremloni 5y agoUnfortunately we do stack ranking so it wouldn’t be fair to anyone else on the team. He also refuses to say anything in 1:1s with regular nudging.
- flashgordon 5y agoYeah that is sad. Software engineering for the most part has become "standardized" and it is unfortunate this individual either missed the boat on the upskilling or just ran out of steam/luck from what may have been (possibly successful) cowboy coding days!
- afarrell 5y agoThis can also be caused by persistent sleep problems, which a lot of people have had during the pandemic.
