How to deal with an incompetent employee who's liked by management
The Next CEO of Stack Overflow
I've been having problems with my report for some time now. The problems can be summarized, bluntly, as incompetence. He delivers work that doesn't meet any standards and which I need hours to correct. The expectations towards my team are huge and it's simply not possible to deal with the workload we are expected to deal with if 20% of the team is lacking skills unless the others work many hours more than they are paid for, which we have been doing for weeks now.
I've been coaching him but this has had no effects so far.
After talking to him several times, I raised the issue to my boss. My boss likes my report a lot. My boss asked me whether he can talk to my subordinate and of course, I said "yes".
After talking to him he told me I was being too critical towards my report, that my report feels misunderstood, feels I simply don't like him, that he feels his contributions are not recognized. He said, summarizing a bit, that my role is to be nice to people, not criticize them.
Please note that my boss can't know how horrible the coworker's work is since he has always seen it corrected by me.
How can I deal with that?
