A person I am having a problem with is Nick Feldman (not his real name, some of you in this class may know this person).
Something I want from this person I’m not getting is for his desire to do his job well to equal his desire to be promoted. I actually enjoy seeing people succeed, and this person wants a promotion, but he is not willing to do his current job well enough or with a degree of dedication to move forward. I have discussed this with him on a number of occasions and given him rather specific tasks, objective and time lines to meet, but to no avail. I’ve had to make recommendations to NOT promote him due to his lack of motivation to do the job. He is really killing my “fun” quotient.
I can't really tell him what I really want now, because I'm afraid that is for him to get transferred - not a good management comment. So, I will continue to tell him what I want - him to do his job - and maybe he will catch on one day.

Keep your head up! Relationship problems are never easy, especially when it is over a recurring problem. If you want it bad enough, and are taking positive steps to help her, things will hopefully work out.
Don't give up on your coworker. If it is meant to be he will come around. Unfortunately, you might not be the one who can do it. You might have to let him be transfered or have someone else manage him before he gets the message. There are a few people I would like to kick in the pants right now as a friend and manager, but I can't. They have to do it on thier own. They are afterall BIG boys and girls .
