The sarcastic/non-trusting part of me, of course, did not believe them. The TL in me urged and forced me to send my well-wishes that they get well.
These two people are really close in exceeding the allowed SLs of the company. And I am torn - do I need to remind them about this? Shouldn't it be that they already know about this? Does reminding means i'm being privy/bordering on the strict and micro-managing? And not reminding means that I don't monitor them?
Well, here are my insights in all of my questions.
1) I have to treat them like adults.
--> meaning I should not always be reminding them about attendance. They are grown-ups, they should know when to use their leaves or not. And I know that they know when to go on leaves (even if they are not actually sick) because they still have leaves that are available.
2) I need to also remind them if they are close to exceeding their limit.
--> in our company, each employee is allowed 15 SLs. I'll be reminding them if they've already reached 10 SLs or they are using their SLs at a really fast pace.
3) Do not show that you don't trust them when they give excuses. Or better yet, TRUST that they are saying the truth. Aargh, this is something which is really difficult to do.
