I just didn’t have it in me today to confront Henry about his work. He didn’t really give me much of an opportunity – he showed up late to class as it was and bolted as soon as it was over – but I’m not sure I would have taken him aside even if he had been on time or lingered after class. I just wasn’t up for drama today.
There’s always Thursday.
Do you have to confront him? I mean, the progress report is done. He can make his own choices from here. It’s already clear you aren’t going to promote him just to save yourself.
