 @6ee90ca1 @717a4fb4 A worker that calls up at midnight to say, "Hold on, you'll be late if you do it that way," doesn't have performance problems.  A person like that who does not excel in your environment you've set up is not excelling because you've created an environment in which they can't.  These people suck.

Who calls at midnight like that?  Someone struggling to sleep at night worrying about how well they're setting you up to succeed.  Like, a mental incapacity to put the problem down.
