DEAR DAN: A TEAM MEMBER IS SARCASTIC AND DISRESPECTFUL

February 11, 2018

Dear Dan,

I have recently been promoted to sales manager. One of my team members is not giving me the respect as a manager.

He often acts sarcastically about some of my plans and just acts like I don’t matter. He has only been with the company for about a year. I don’t think he thought I would end up his manager.

He is challenged in his territory and is struggling to meet certain budgets. I feel I will have to work closely with him to help him in his territory, but I am concerned about his attitude and comments.

The rest of my team is on board with everything.

Thanks,

Disrespected
