How to Deal with a Toxic Coworker

Most of us don’t get a job just to make friends– but that doesn’t mean you should put up with a toxic coworker. Dealing with a toxic coworker can be one of the most challenging aspects of any job. A toxic coworker can create a hostile work environment, undermine your efforts, and significantly contribute to workplace stress and burnout. Understanding how to identify toxic behaviors and knowing how to respond effectively can help you maintain your mental well-being and productivity at work.

Recognizing Toxic Behaviors

The first step in dealing with a toxic coworker is to identify the toxic behaviors. Toxic coworkers can manifest their negativity in various ways, and recognizing these signs early can help you take appropriate action. Here are some common toxic behaviors to watch out for.

Gossiping and Spreading Rumors

A toxic coworker often engages in gossip and spreads rumors about others. They might share false information, exaggerate situations, or talk behind people’s backs, creating a climate of mistrust and tension.

Undermining and Sabotaging

Toxic coworkers may undermine your efforts or sabotage your work. They might withhold important information, take credit for your achievements, or deliberately make your job more difficult.

Constant Negativity

If someone is always negative, complaining, or critical of others, they can drain your energy and affect your morale. Their perpetual negativity can create a toxic atmosphere that impacts everyone around them.

Bullying and Intimidation

Some toxic coworkers engage in bullying and intimidation. They might use aggressive language, make threats, or try to assert dominance over others, creating a fearful and uncomfortable work environment.

Manipulation and Passive-Aggression

Manipulative coworkers use deceit and passive-aggressive behavior to get what they want. They might play the victim, use guilt-tripping, or manipulate situations to their advantage, often leaving you feeling confused and frustrated.

Strategies to Manage a Toxic Coworker

Once you’ve identified the toxic behaviors, the next step is to develop strategies to manage and respond to the toxic coworker. Here are some effective approaches:

Set Boundaries

Establishing clear boundaries is crucial when dealing with a toxic coworker. Decide what behaviors you will not tolerate and communicate these boundaries firmly and respectfully. For instance, if a coworker constantly gossips, you can tell them, “I do not engage in conversations about others.”

Stay Professional

Maintain professionalism in all your interactions with the toxic coworker. Avoid stooping to their level or getting drawn into their negativity. Keep your communication clear, concise, and focused on work-related matters.

Limit Interactions

If possible, try to limit your interactions with the toxic coworker. The less time you spend around them, the less influence they will have on your mood and productivity. If you need to collaborate, keep the interactions brief and to the point. Think of yourself like a gray rock: be as unengaging and uninteresting as possible. Many toxic people like to get a reaction out of others, and if you refuse to give a reaction, it sends the message that you aren’t willing to play their petty games.

Document Incidents

Keep a record of any incidents involving the toxic coworker. Document specific behaviors, dates, times, and any witnesses. This documentation can be useful if you need to report the behavior to HR or management.

Seek Support

Don’t hesitate to seek support from colleagues, supervisors, or HR. Talking to others about your experiences can provide emotional relief and practical advice. If the toxic behavior continues, having the backing of your coworkers can strengthen your case when reporting the issue.

Responding to Specific Toxic Behaviors

Different toxic behaviors require different responses. Here are some tailored strategies for dealing with specific types of toxic coworkers. You shouldn’t have to protect yourself from a toxic coworker, but the reality is that sometimes, we have to take action to protect our own mental well-being. So if you’re dealing with workplace toxicity, here are some strategies to master for specific bad behaviors.

Handling Gossip and Rumors

When dealing with gossip and rumors, it’s important to address the issue directly. You can calmly confront the gossiper and let them know that their behavior is inappropriate. For example, you might say, “I heard you were talking about me behind my back. If you have any concerns, please come to me directly.”

Dealing with Undermining and Sabotage

If a coworker is undermining your work, focus on maintaining transparency in your projects. Keep detailed records of your contributions and share updates with your team or supervisor regularly. If the sabotage continues, consider discussing the issue with your supervisor to seek their intervention.

Countering Constant Negativity

To counter constant negativity, try to steer conversations towards positive topics. If a coworker is always complaining, you can respond with a positive perspective or change the subject to something more constructive. Additionally, practicing gratitude and focusing on positive aspects of your job can help counterbalance their negativity.

Addressing Bullying and Intimidation

Bullying and intimidation require a firm response. Stand up for yourself by asserting your boundaries and refusing to be intimidated. If the behavior continues, escalate the issue to HR or management. Bullying is unacceptable, and it’s important to take a stand against it.

Managing Manipulation and Passive-Aggression

When dealing with manipulative or passive-aggressive coworkers, it’s essential to stay calm and composed. Don’t let their behavior manipulate your emotions. Address the behavior directly and assertively, for example, “I noticed you seem upset about our project. Let’s discuss any concerns openly so we can resolve them.”

The Mental Toll of a Toxic Coworker

The mental toll of a toxic coworker can be profound and far-reaching. Constant exposure to negativity, manipulation, or hostility can lead to significant stress, anxiety, and even depression. This persistent stress can disrupt your concentration and create a pervasive sense of dread about going to work. Over time, the cumulative effect of dealing with a toxic coworker can contribute to burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and a diminished sense of accomplishment. The impact on your mental health can spill over into your personal life, affecting your relationships and overall well-being– and you shouldn’t have to put up with that.

Dealing with a toxic coworker is undoubtedly challenging, but with the right strategies, you can protect your mental wellness and create a better work environment. If you need additional support in navigating interpersonal relationships or dealing with workplace stress, consider scheduling an appointment with a Love Heal Grow therapist. We are here to help you develop effective strategies for managing toxic relationships and maintaining your mental health. Don’t hesitate to reach out and take the first step towards a healthier, happier work environment!

I have so many questions!!! >.<

1. What happened to the manager? Do the police really take him away?

2. Did the nice manager came by to pick taemin up? What about the rest of the idols? Is the nice manager euisoo?

3. Does rain question anyone to find out why asshole manager is being an asshole to the kids and fighting with jaejoong?

4. How did jaejoong and taemin managed to resolve their conflict

uwu this is so cute iluvvit

The police were called to come deal with the manager, but Euisoo also rushed to the school immediately when he realized what was happening. He was able to convince the actual teachers and administration as well as the police who showed up that there was just a mix up about what kids had what schedule, and that the company would make sure there was never an incident like this again.

Euisoo also personally went to the bathroom Taemin, Jongin, and a cameraman were hiding out in to collect Taemin and also to take Jongin back to class. He really couldn’t care less of Jaejoong is their teacher for a week or two and if they’re on some reality show. It’s an arts high school, it’s not going to be normal, he’s actually surprised something like this has never happened before.

“Where are Sehun and Krystal?” he asks Taemin.

“In this class,” Taemin mumbles, pointing as they pass by it.

Euisoo pokes his head in, asks quickly if they’re alright and if they need anything, and then goes back to getting Taemin to the schedule he is extremely late for. It had taken Euisoo longer than he’d hoped to get the school to end the lockdown.

“Now you’re sure you feel comfortable going with him?” Rain asks Taemin specifically before they leave, and Taemin really thinks he might faint because Rain’s hands are on his shoulders and he’s looking right at him and oh man is this how his fans feel this is too much he’s so star struck.

“I’m fine,” Taemin chokes out. “Euisoo is my favorite manager.”

“Aww,” Euisoo teases him. “I’m flattered. Now let’s go you’re very late.”

“You’re absolutely sure?” Rain double checks. “I will walk you right back into your classroom if you don’t want to go with him, and I’ll call someone else to come get you.”

“I’m sure, Rain, sir, I’m fine,” Taemin stammers. And as nervous as he is to even be in Rain’s presence, he’s so grateful that this absolute unit of a man is currently blocking the camera’s view of him. He seemed to be acutely aware of how Taemin didn’t want the cameras all pointed at him right now, and he was doing an amazingly subtle job of making sure they couldn’t get any close ups of Taemin, because Taemin was absolutely not fine, but he would be once he was safely tucked away in a van with Euisoo driving. Euisoo was good. Euisoo was safe. Euisoo also put a comforting arm around Taemin’s shoulders to guide him out to the van, and he even carried Taemin’s backpack for him, he never does that, it’s almost weird how overly nice he’s being.

“Wanna tell me what happened?” Euisoo asks softly once they drive away.

Taemin sinks into the passenger seat and fiddles with the sleeves of his uniform jacket. He’s nervous and skittish and Euisoo can see right through any attempt he makes to seem fine.

“He was already mad because I forgot to go down to the office,” Taemin mumbles, talking about The Asshole Manager. “Then he saw Jaejoong there and the cameras and he got really really mad and told Jongin to get out too and when I walked by him to go in the hall he grabbed my arm really hard and it really hurt and it just was a lot of yelling and then we went on lockdown and I had to hide in a bathroom because I thought an axe murderer was on the loose and it was really scary.”

Taemin barely whispers the last few words, hating to admit that he was scared, but Euisoo just lets him keep talking and doesn’t even give him a hard time for not telling anyone he was being filmed at school.

Taemin finds out the next day that The Asshole Manager was fired for multiple reasons: trying to disrupt the education of several idols unnecessarily, causing a scene at the school to he point that law enforcement was called in, and for physically harming Taemin (he has the hand-shaped bruise to prove it and had to show several other managers and get a photo taken of it, for documentation - an HR nightmare, really).

The Friday of that first week, Jaejoong does manage to sit down with Taemin (without cameras) and really talk about everything. Taemin had clearly been upset and felt a little abandoned, and he told Jaejoong as much.

And Taemin had always been Jaejoong’s little buddy, so he missed him a lot. It had been an unfortunate situation, but Jaejoong was glad he could finally clear things up with him and explain that, at the beginning, he and the others had been advised not to contact anyone within the company until things had been settled. Then it just never felt like the right time to try to get in touch with Taemin again, and when he had tried talking with Yunho after everything, Yunho had mentioned that Taemin was particularly upset and he just didn’t want to make anything worse.

“Is this what kids with divorced parents feel like?”

Jaejoong laughs probably more than he should when Taemin says that, but the little smile on Taemin’s face is worth it.

hey Rivkah! I've seen you post about having career goals related to linguistic anthropology and you've also posted that discrimination, especially linguistic discrimination, is one of the worst things about society your opinion. I was wondering if you had any ideas about how one could counter linguistic discrimination, either as part of a career or on the side. I'm especially interested in hearing your thoughts on how one might be able to do this outside of doing ling anth in academia.

Hi honey! I’m really honored to receive this question because it’s so insightful and dedicated to something I’m incredibly passionate about. It overlaps with sociology, law, and politics. So, first I’ll talk about what I’m personally planning to do outside of/past academia, and then I’ll talk about other avenues one can take, both on a large and small scale.

Right now, my goals are to be either a medical or legal interpreter, and I’m leaning toward the latter. What that means, for those that don’t know, is that I want to go through a graduate degree or certificate program in order to be certified to translate specific languages orally in a highly specialized workplace, namely a hospital or a courtroom.

The reason why I’m so passionate about this job is because, while we have laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (which prohibits discrimination based on “national origin,” which is closely tied to the native language you speak) we still see a lot of prejudice and violence against people who choose to speak their native/a different language on their own terms in public. 

More specifically, what I aim to do is make it easier for non-native English speakers (especially, but not limited to, immigrants) receive the same services all people have a right to but they may have difficulty getting, such as medical attention or accurate legal representation. Interpretation is incredibly high stakes in my eyes because you have to translate automatically, in person, with a lot of pressure on you to do it quickly and accurately. And that’s really scary, but to me, what’s scarier is that someone might not be getting the care they need or be understood in a courtroom, and that could impact their health, their safety, their freedom, or their ability to get justice.

While someone might not necessarily be actively sabotaged in a courtroom or a hospital, those are high profile environments with a lot of pressure, and not a lot of time for patience and forgiveness if you’re trying to get through a case or to the next patient. The odds are stacked against someone who doesn’t have the specific vocabulary needed to accurately describe their symptoms or deliver their testimony. 

And that’s not even counting the ingrained and/or active biases that are found on a serious level in the United States healthcare and justice systems. One of the reasons I’m leaning toward legal interpretation is because I would love to be employed by an organization that protects immigrants from being exploited or abused by our current administration. And that’s so much easier to do when you have bilingual representation to fight with you for your rights.

So, that’s a little background on what I’m specifically studying and fighting for. Here are just a few quick bullets that I always tell people when talking about linguistic discrimination and our role in it.

On a large scale, you can:

Go into a career like mine (law, interpretation, translation, etc) that focuses on combating it.

Support political campaigns and anti-discrimination bill campaigns by volunteering your time to organizations like the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and RAICES (Refugee And Immigrant Center for Education and legal Services)

SPEAKING OF WHICH, if you’re like me and you use Lyft, you can donate to RAICES with each Lyft Ride. They’ll round up to the nearest dollar on your fee and donate that extra. All you have to do is go to the app and opt in under “Donate.”

Attend conferences, meetings, workshops, and rallies that center around this topic and intersecting ones that you may be interested in.

Volunteer your time to places like housing projects. This is something that I’m on an email/calling list to do. Specifically for me, it’s the Boston Housing Authority, and their volunteers send in a resume, state which languages they have high proficiency in (mine is currently only Spanish) and then attend a training to understand how to do it accurately and with cultural sensitivity. It’s great practice if you need to polish your language skills, are planning to go into a career like mine, or want to use highly-specialized vocabulary. I’ve had to pick up a lot of words that have to do with landlords, rent, housing laws, etc. A lot of the people serviced by the BHA are immigrants or non-native speakers and struggle with things such as reading official letters or making appointments with native English speakers. When they struggle to do this, they’re more likely to get taken advantage of by landlords, evicted unfairly, or mistreated.

Support (through volunteering, donating, etc) indigenous or indigenous-helping groups that combat issues ranging from seizure of land in the Amazon to indigenous groups working on their terms to preserve/revitalize their language(s). It’s really easy for indigenous voices to  

On a small (but equally important) scale, you can:

Call out linguistic discrimination that you see, such as people denying individuals service based on hearing them speak in another language, or unnecessarily bothering them in public. Whenever possible, take video of the incident.

Have polite and informed discussions with people who want to know more about it or might not understand why it’s a problem. This is particularly important to have with kids, and while I was volunteering/teaching Hebrew I made sure that it was integrated into the lessons.

Remain informed on cases involving linguistic discrimination.

Call your representatives when cases come up concerning linguistic discrimination or immigration policy.

Vote for representatives who believe in acceptance and equality for people who come from different backgrounds/languages. 

Boycott/denounce companies and organizations that improperly handle workplace/customer discrimination or instigate it themselves.

Follow native speakers, particularly indigenous individuals and/or minority language speakers, as well as linguistic/social activists and journalists/academics, on your social media feeds (my preferred one to check is Twitter) for updates and opinions on issues that may help you get more informed outside of a classroom/professorial setting.

Be aware of the kinds of resources you should reach out to (administration, superiors, HR, etc) should you find yourself experiencing or watching someone experience linguistic discrimination.

Disclaimer: before stepping into any confrontations, make sure you assess the danger of the situation (this where it’s really good to go to trainings to learn how to handle these kinds of situations). Your goal is to always de-escalate and make the person being discriminated against safer, as well as of course keeping yourself safe too. If there’s violence or anyone is in immediate danger, call the authorities and document whatever you can safely. I’ve only ever seen people being verbally abused for their use of their language(s), but it’s a scary world out there right now.

Overall, it’s really important to remember that this kind of discrimination does not exist in a vacuum and almost always has ties/roots in other forms of discrimination and racism. While it may seem like you’re only doing something small by stepping into and diffusing confrontation/condemning discrimination, you’re having a ripple effect that lets people who linguistically discriminate know that they should be ashamed of their words/actions. 

ALSO, friendly reminder that people who discriminate/harass someone for speaking in another language, having an accent, etc, are not entitled to be put up with due to free speech. That isn’t what it means.

A couple more resources on language discrimination in the workplace:

Language Discrimination & Workplace Fairness

Legal Aid at Work

World Language Education: Preventing Linguistic Discrimination

THIS IS BY NO MEANS ALL-ENCOMPASSING! It is also fed by the researched but incomplete knowledge I have on the subject as a non-expert and a student who is aspiring to meet these kinds of goals. Because I’m a student, I’m always learning, and that means growth must sometimes take the place of changing things I thought I knew and admitting mistakes. 

If you have anything else you want to add to this, please feel free to message me or reply/reblog. 

If you see any inaccuracies, incomplete information, or other concerns/issues with what I’ve written here, please take the time to contact me and educate me! 

I hope this is a good answer and satisfactorily answered your question, @stressfulsemantics ? Please feel free to ask any follow-up or message me for anything you may need!

About Buick key-lock structure

Buick is the U.S.A's world-wide popular manufacturer of automobiles of mainstream vehicles and turn into being one of the widest USA manufacturer of automobiles since 1903.

Buick started utilizing transponder keys in 1997. Outdated  Buick keys could be replicated by a convenient inexpensive dashboard duplication process.

Latest models according to model and year shifted the lock and key instrumentation to an inscribed transponder type of keys that demand a unique key programmer and diagnostic equipment in order to duplicate an additional key.

Since 2007, Some  Buick models are utilizing push-button start ignition and Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS) as either optional or standard instrumentation.

Ignition repair

When the car doesn't light up, there might be lots of complications which could be the source. Since the fuel supply instrumentation and motor vehicle power supply are linked to the ignition lock, the problem might be wearisome to examine by a non-experience hands, yet here are a few frequent complications, which Buick owner may have to cope with.

</p> <h5>ignition key is stiffly turning</h5> <p> When the ignition key wont turn in the ignition switch, it could be for a few reasons: Often this occurs when the steering  stuck by the ignition with the car front wheels shift to the side (usually happens when parking on a hill) or when each of two front wheels is depressed against something (e.g. curb stone). In this case, try turning the locked steering wheel to the sides left and right during mildly jiggling the ignition gripping the key - this might help to release the steering column.

</p> <h5>Empty car battery</h5> <p> One more typical reason why your ignition might fail to start is a malfunction in the vehicle battery. A deplated vehicle battery mey bay because of electronic wiring or alternator failure. When the lights on the dash-board console turned off when you turn the key, most likely you better call a car mechanic shop.

The ignition switch is one of the most critical systems of any car and consisting of so many tiny components that might be wearisome to examine by a non-experience hands, so the most a person may do confronting ignition switch or key issues is to verify you are really attempting to light up your own car and call a car key-smith to arrive to your juncture to repair, reprogram  replace the key or ignition which will costs $150–$375.

Chipped key issue

In the 1990’s vehicle makers didn't use chips in their locks and key mechanism. Car lock-picking and larceny was commonplace and present a great concern to drivers and insurance companies world-wide.

The key hold a chip, programmed with a unique encrypted code and the ECM initialized with coordinating code. The moment the key is inserted inside the ignition switch, the chip deliver a combination of audio and infrared encrypted signal to the immobilizer. If the coded signal doesn't detected, the immobiliser demobilize the fuel pump and the car wouldn't activate.

The disadvantage of utilizing  digitized chipped keys and immobilised car main computer keys and locks is that in nearly all circumstances to restore a lost or stolen key, the car computer system must be re programmed by specific key programming machine which means that you will have call a vehicle lock-smith or haul your car to the dealership.

Buick keyless entry device

Buick smartkey allow a car owner to lock and unlock the car doors besides starting up the car without inserting a physical key, and starting at 2007, numerous Buick models in the market come with some sort of a smart key technology that includes a brief distance remote transmitter.

With a proximity key, entry to your Buick is normally obtained by transmitting an RF indication message from a transponder in the smartkey to a car main computer on an encoded channel when you solely swinging by within a distance of 5 ft of the vehicle with the keyless device in the pocket or on a key ring.

This combination of audio and infrared indication message and the Buick proximity key system, by the same token authorize push 2 start ignition (also known as Bump starting or Push starting). In this system a driver is adept of running a car  by pushing a push-buttons on the dash-board instead of twisting a key in a key-tunnel.

Copy vs lost car keys

The process of cutting and programming a car key varies between different year and models of the vehicle. On several models, dashboard programming could be utilized to program a copy key. On-board programming ward off the need for overpriced key programmer and key codes when programming a new transponder key to the vehicle. Vehicles with no Dashboard programming  option must have a supplementary key programmed utilizing a dedicated key programmer that is handy solely to Buick dealership or a lawful locksmith.

This equipment costs several thousands of dollars to procured which is major reason having a computerized motor vehicle key is at least $60 more then to merely cut an old type metal blade key.

If you don’t have a backup key you will most likely need to tow your car to the dealer-ship or call a car locksmith to come down to your juncture to reprogram the ECU to utilize the new key and refuse the lost one.

Practice While Suspended

Colorado has had a spate of disciplinary cases involving practice by suspended attorneys. 

In one matter, an attorney who had been for three years in 2006 and never reinstated has been disbarred by a Colorado Hearing Board. 

He posted several Craigslist ads 

I MANAGE YOUR LEGAL ISSUES AND EXPENSES

Thank you for reading my ad. I practiced law for forty years. The learning curve was to manage other lawyers, to to [sic] restrain unnecessary activities and reduce all legal bills to a reasonable cost. You do not have to walk out of an attorney’s office shivering with anxiety waiting for the next monthly bill over which you have no control. If you are handling your own affairs I can help you in the same fashion. With average legal expense really coming in at $180 per hour that is $7,200 a week. Call me. Lets [sic] talk about some relief for you. Insurance companies have claims managers whose main responsibility is to keep on [sic] eye on their attorneys cost. Why shouldn’t you?

He secured a client

Howard Horner answered a Craigslist advertisement that Respondent had posted. Horner understood that Respondent was “an elderly, formerly practicing attorney that would, for a $40/hr rate, answer questions and assist me in my situation.” Respondent and Horner exchanged multiple email communications, and Respondent agreed to provide consulting services to Horner concerning “one specific [prior] tenant regarding one specific property rental.”

And drafted a letter to a tenant.

When the matter resolved quickly, Horner offered to pay $100 for the assistance.

In an email exchange disputing Respondent’s fee amount, Horner asserted, “I think this process has been very weird if not shady,” and “[h]ow do I even know you were ever a lawyer and not just someone scamming me and setting me up for really big problems.” Respondent countered, “[t]he next email are pictures if [sic] my former [law] license and degree.”  He then sent Horner photographs of a certificate from Villanova University School of Law for meritorious service as president of the student bar association and his State of Colorado law license dated January 8, 1987. Horner ultimately paid Respondent a sum of $400.00 and filed a grievance with the People...

Respondent testified that he was “terribly sorry” for what had happened with Horner and emphasized that he did not wish Horner any ill-will. Respondent stated, “I have no excuse, I did a stupid thing [by making the Craigslist posting],” but he also repeated that it was never his intention to practice law. Respondent noted that before this incident he had never tried to practice law since his 2006 suspension. Respondent said he posted the Craigslist advertisement because he had some downtime from the GPNE projects and wanted to help others.

Sanction

Here, Respondent knew that he was suspended from the practice of law yet posted Craigslist advertisements offering legal services. He then conducted legal research, provided legal advice, drafted a letter making legal claims on behalf of a customer, and demanded that he be paid for the legal services he provided. Respondent engaged in these activities knowingly. Although Respondent’s history of community involvement is a substantial mitigator, it is not sufficient to overcome the presumptive sanction, other aggravating factors, and the weight of the case law. Given the presumptive sanction, the balance of aggravating and mitigating factors, the relevant case law, and Respondent’s prior discipline, we find that the appropriate sanction is disbarment.

An unrelated matter of unauthorized practice led to a consent three year suspension

Tauger’s law license has been suspended since 2011. In May 2019, Tauger was contacted by a former client about a commission dispute with another brokerage company from the sale of real property. Tauger told the client he was suspended. Nevertheless, the client requested that Tauger review the matter. The client paid Tauger $1,900.00 to review documents and assist him, though no written fee agreement was entered. On several occasions Tauger emailed other parties involved in the matter; these emails included legal analysis, statements about tortious interference, and references to confidential settlement communications. The email address Tauger used included the domain name “taugerlaw.” The other parties believed he was a lawyer representing the client based on the nature and content of his emails. When he was asked directly about his relationship and status, Tauger was vague and stated that he was semi-retired and assisting in the matter. He did not clarify that he was suspended and unable to practice law.

The third matter resulted in a concurrent suspension

Vahsholtz was suspended from the practice of law for one year and one day in case number 19PDJ033; his suspension took effect on July 29, 2019. In summer 2019, a long-time friend and former client told Vahsholtz that she had been unable to get information about her deceased father-in-law’s estate. Respondent told her that he personally knew the lawyer on the case and would call as a friend for an update. Vahsholtz did not believe that calling for information constituted the practice of law, and he had no expectation of payment. In late October 2019, Vahsholtz called the lawyer’s office and told a paralegal that he was a lawyer representing his friend. He then asked for an accounting of the estate on his friend’s behalf. During his communications with the paralegal, Vahsholtz never disclosed that his law license was suspended. About a week later, Vahsholtz spoke with the lawyer; he related that his friend was concerned about the lack of information she had received. This time, Vahsholtz made clear that his law license was suspended and that he was calling as a favor for a friend

Guides to help you work remotely seem to have swept through the Internet these days.

Do this, avoid that, stay productive, and all those run-of-the-mill tips we’ve already tried out.

So instead of talking about how your remote team needs to schedule out their day effectively or clean their desk, here I am focusing on the hands-on tips you can apply to manage your software development team while working remotely.

First, we need to understand the exact meaning of “remote teams”.

This will allow you to clearly see that having even one individual who’s working separately means you should improve the way in which you manage your team and the process they use for remote team collaboration and task execution.

What are remote teams really?

Today, millions of companies are faced with remote work situations in one form or another. Whether they’re fully-distributed organizations, have a couple of employees working from another part of the world, or just regularly work with external collaborators.

The first thing that comes to your mind when you think of remote teams is something like: different people working from all parts of the world and distinct time zones on a single project and having the same general goals.

In reality, there are many remote teams that have employees in a single country or even in one city. It’s just that everyone works from their own home, without having to go to the office. 🥳 This saves on costs while managing remote teams.

But many companies (software development included) have offices in multiple countries. When your US team members talk to their colleagues from the UK, they’re essentially collaborating remotely. So remote team communication is a must in these cases even if everyone is in the office.

This being said, whether work is done from an office or not is not necessarily a defining factor for remote teams. The problems you could experience lie solely within the communication and work processes.

Best practices for managing remote software development teams across multiple time zones

Since you’re probably used to all the “do this to be productive” rants, I’ll try to tell you what you might not know.

Hire the right people for your remote teams

People are the heart of any team.

So if you hire the right professionals [and humans] for your team, you’re halfway to success.

On the hiring and interviewing process, here are some of the best tips from Shannon Hogue, Global Head of Solutions Engineering, @Karat:

“I always tell hiring managers to start at the review and work back to determine which core competencies should be listed in a job description. Then, to keep things standard across a global network of Interview Engineers, we put those competencies into structured scoring rubrics for each interview. Here are 3 quick steps for building a structured rubric that can help keep everyone on the same page, be it for hiring or managing: Identify what competencies are both relevant and important to assess. For each competency, list observable behavior and results as checkboxes (select all) and/or radio buttons (choose one). Write down an “algorithm” to help interviewers summarize a completed rubric into a single conclusion. For example, if Technical Communication is a relevant competency you might list it on the rubric with a specific scale.”

Here’s what Shannon’s example could look like:

Beyond any hiring tip, effective remote work also imposes a question on whether your office workers will adapt to the new lifestyle.

If you’re switching from an office team to a distributed one or even if you want to hire someone who hasn’t worked remotely before, you need to guarantee they’ll fit in the team and work efficiently in your remote team even before day #1.

For software developers the demand is so high that you’ll often bump into this problem:

How do I make sure that who I’m hiring is the perfect fit within our team when they haven’t worked remotely at all? 🤔

Perhaps tech professionals are some of the easiest to assess beforehand. Check out any of their side projects, if they own a business or do freelancing, and even look at their online presence.

A developer who’s only been putting work for their official job and has no GitHub repositories and projects to boast is clearly not going to be someone you’ll trust right away.

Trust and accountability are the 2 main attributes to consider beyond any hard skills.

These two character traits (which we often ignore because we’re too focused on business results) can predict whether that person will fit within your team culture. And, even more importantly, if they’re willing to stay with your company for many years to come and dedicate themselves to your project.

From then on, managing remote teams is also a matter of how you handle their training.

Onboarding and training

The trial period all HR experts recommend exists for a good reason. It allows you to literally SEE how they work, collaborate, and get along with the rest of the team.

Many managers make the mistake of hiring a developer, letting them start the trial weeks, but not monitoring what they’re actually doing.

Don’t assume that someone who seems skilled and experienced will deliver the same commitment and quality of work to you too. May I say this is the best and only time to be a micromanager and literally oversee all of their actions.

But do offer your help within the first days by making sure they have all resources needed and making the appropriate introductions to your team.

Get them involved in the code writing process for your project as soon as possible so you can get a better feel of how they conduct their work. I’ll also advise you to try a pair programming session during the hiring process too. More on this procedure later in this guide.

Prepare the right work methods

This is largely the manager’s decision. Team feedback is only valid when everyone knows the relevant best practices and benefits of each work method. This doesn’t mean you can't get their input on the methods they’d prefer to use. However, letting them take care of the decision process will only give rise to conflicts and postpone the choice for the time being since there simply will be too many opinions for you to sort out.

“While you do not want to micromanage a remote team, you certainly want to set up clear minimum administrative processes. For a previous remote team I had to manage, this included setting-up very precisely the infamous JIRA workflow. While it is good to leave a remote team some freedom, work also needs to be clearly organized, so there should be a few processes that have very precise descriptions. In development, the most important of such processes are issues management, and also the build process. This should be described in detail, and followed strictly. To make sure key processes are respected, there should be set points when work needs to stop until the process is followed. As an example, I gave strict orders to my business team not to look at any incident that is not documented.” - Nicolas de Mauroy, CEO @Open Lowcode

But how close should supervision really be?

Surprisingly – not that in depth.

Keep your devs under your radar only enough to guarantee that all processes run smoothly and you’re able to maintain a trust both ways. Yes, 50% of data breaches across all industries are caused by insiders, but that doesn’t mean you must force everyone to track their time or record their screens.

Developers should really only have to track their time in 2 instances:

They/you really want to improve your work processes.

They’re getting paid by the hour.

Your role as a manager goes beyond the person who is seemingly in charge of everything. You’re a liaison. That key link between one team member and another, helping your development team collaborate with operations, marketing, design, customer support, and sales while also ensuring all team members are happy and their needs are met.

I’m super disappointed to tell you that only 35% of managers are engaged with their work. How is this going to motivate someone else?

Employees who are supervised by highly-engaged managers are in turn going to be better and happier performers themselves. This will boost your employee retention rates and create that long-lasting company-worker bond most companies can never attain.

This takes me to the importance of knowing when and how to communicate. Both ways.

Craft your remote team collaboration plan

Collaboration goes hand-in-hand with your work method and how you manage tasks. It’s the little things like crafting clear task descriptions and expectations that add up to distinguish a positive collaboration experience from a chaotic one.

Tinjo Thomas, Design Technologist @Coredes Interactive also recommends the following two tweaks you can make:

“1. Always set a due date for each task even though your developers are experts and can make estimates themselves. 2. If you are giving instructions to only one or two people, don't send the message to the whole group. Reach out to every individual in private. People spend a lot of time reading unnecessary conversations on channels.”

On meetings

Meetings are honestly a very controversial topic. Managers love to call meetings. Devs, though, hate most of them but are afraid to voice their thoughts.

To keep meetings relevant, here are some actionable points to keep in mind:

“On a more macro-level, knowledge sharing can happen through a weekly team meeting with a Q&A via video whereby the members of the team can share what they learned from the codebase with each other as well as ask questions. In terms of knowledge sharing through team meetings - you can have several types of meetings. The overall idea for these is to encourage collaboration in an effort to turn explicit knowledge into tacit knowledge. So you can have brainstorming sessions or meetings geared more towards lessons learned (this can be in the form of a demo or presentation). All done entirely remotely.” - Emil Hajric, CEO @Helpjuice

One huge mistake first-time remote team managers make is filling up entire days with meetings:

“First-time remote team managers need to be quite aware of the differences between collaborative work [like Scrum meetings and software architecture design] and individual focus work [like coding]. It is important to schedule time and ensure everyone can contribute to the collaborative session, but then leave your professionals alone to do what they were hired to do, write great software.” - Pedro Henriques, Co-Founder & CEO @BRIDGE IN

You’ll want to always remember to press that record button during meetings. We’re not necessarily fans of paper trails, but you’ll need them to avoid bothering your team with issues that have already been discussed:

“You should be recording and saving absolutely everything from remote team meetings and strategy sessions. While working remotely, we've noticed a huge uptick in productivity when managers and team members can refer directly to meetings instead of having to play phone tag or email back and forth for simple information. It's a huge boon to workflow across the board and should really become the new normal with the increase in remote team management.” - Alexander M. Kehoe, Co-Founder and Operations Director @Caveni

Keeping up-to-date with all changes is even more important when your team’s distributed. But remote teams have different approaches to how they make sure they don’t just communicate, but also apply and consider every opinion.

Here’s where the real-time vs asynchronous communication battle comes in. Everything’s already been said about this. So the conclusion is:

There’s a right time for each type of communication. A predisposition for certain types of tasks will also make your remote team more likely to go for one method of communication over the other.

Just like the video vs written communication issue.

The Voro team, for instance, has used their office and remote communication tests to conclude that written collaboration worked best for them:

“My #1 tip for managing a remote team is to default to written communication rather than video calls. This forces you to clarify your thinking and communicate succinctly. When we all worked in the same office, it was easy to walk over to someone’s desk to talk through a problem. It would waste a great deal of time to replicate that with a scheduled video call. Since we are 100% remote, more of our communication has been written, and we try to memorialize most of that in internal documents, so we continue to move fast and share institutional knowledge seamlessly.” - Tomas Hoyos, CEO @Voro

Invest more time in one-on-ones

With one-on-ones, you’re focusing more on sharing the status of specific tasks and individual activities, while every single member on your team gets to make their own suggestions. One-on-ones are commonly held between one team leader and the other members at a time.

Having these twice a month is your best bet to make sure everything gets covered. Holding them weekly is too often as you won’t have time to focus on your other tasks because you’re too busy with meetings.

These one-on-one meetings are also a good opportunity for you to hold reviews and updates on the OKRs. To facilitate the feedback and ideation process, Charles Ahmadzadeh, CTO @Bunch uses checklists during these meetings:

“I like to use checklists with my team. I'll ask each team member to create a checklist each day of what needs to be done before ending the day and before submitting their work. We review these checklists in 1:1s to spot patterns. I mostly use this to help others around me grow or keep myself accountable to the feedback I receive from the team. The good thing about them is that they work no matter how senior you are (even astronauts live by checklists). They’re easy to share in 1:1, even if your team is remote, and very simple to use, as long as you’re committed to improving yourself.”

NOTE ON OBJECTIVES AND KEY RESULTS: Team leaders can establish these at a team and individual level by also taking into account suggestions from developers.

For instance, each department or team can have specific targets: to release a feature on time, avoid more than 2 major bugs after a release, keep the error rate low, etc. Individually, each member should take care of one release so that every single team member will know how to handle them.

Here’s an actionable idea: Use TrackJS [or other error tracking tool for your programming language]. Every member can choose a top error and fix it. This allows members to increase their accountability and learn new things to avoid freezing their skills.

Pair programming finally getting the attention it deserves

Now is also the best time to experiment with pair programming. This practice allows two developers to work simultaneously, often on the same tasks. While this is usually done from the same computer, you can switch it up a bit and make use of tools like TeamViewer or screen sharing.

Pair programming also helps distributed teams improve the quality of their code, tighten bonds between colleagues, transfer information and know-how from one dev to another, increase their own accountability, and speed up the entire development process.

Does this make you feel like you’ve been missing out on all its benefits? 🦄 Just keep in mind some best practices if you want to get started with using the pair programming practice on a regular basis.

By using common sense, you probably won’t have both developers working on the same thing for 8 hours straight. Instead, distribute tasks evenly and allot a specific time slot for them to actually work together. Dealing with multiple time zones? Pair programmers within similar work schedules.

Communicate beyond work with your remote teams

We’re all humans. So we can’t work, work, work all the time. How about you implement some activities for people to destress twice a week as part of your remote team management process?

Playing board games online. Having a #watercooler channel on Slack. Finding some creative online team building activities. These are all ideas to help your remote teams unwind and get their mind off anything that’s stressing them out.

Pedro Henriques also shared his thoughts on the importance of implementing this type of downtime while working remotely:

“Remote teams need to deliberately schedule slack time and create informal virtual watercooler moments. In the office, the watercooler or coffee machine is often the place for spontaneous discussions about various topics ranging from a nasty software bug to vent about office politics or even troubles in personal life. These discussions are not superfluous. They’re absolutely critical for team cohesion. Therefore managers should actively promote them, but make sure not to attend.”

Choose the right tools: The basics will do, there are no magical solutions

I’ve seen so many “best tools for remote work” lists the Internet could really crash for good.

Nah, but really, stop looking for the best apps and miraculous software to somehow save your remote teams.

We already know everyone is using Slack and Zoom to collaborate and the ones who don’t use these are probably doing so because of small issues they had or costs they wanted to lower.

For instance, from all apps I’ve tested for this purpose Google Meet was the fastest and most accurate one but guess what? My clients are using Zoom already. No room to impose another tool.

The key point is not to waste weeks trying to find the right tools for your team. Others have already done this. There are thousands of options out there. All of them are copying features from each other so you end up with the same tool in dozens of versions.

So here’s your stack:

Jira - Slack - Zoom - GitHub - InVision - a bug tracking tool - every developer’s code editor

Test these [preferably the free versions first] and only look for alternatives if you have huge issues that are stilting your workflow. My two cents.

Also, some wise words from Tinjo Thomas:

“Don't try to save money on bug tracking or team management tools. You will know why it’s important when things don’t get done as you expected.”

What exactly are Survivable Computer Methods

Definition Of the Survivable Laptop or computer Technique

A pc program, which may be designed up of various specific programs and factors, built to present mission significant products and services must have the capacity to perform in a constant and timely method underneath various working circumstances. It have to be capable to meet its targets and targets whether it's in a point out of standard operation or below some sort of strain or in a hostile setting. A discussion on survivable Pc units can be quite a very elaborate and far achieving just one. However, in the following paragraphs We are going to contact on just a few of the Fundamentals.

Pc Protection And Survivable Laptop Methods

--------------------------------------------------

Survivable Laptop or computer systems and Computer system security are in some ways associated but in a low-degree a great deal unique. As an illustration, the hardening of a specific procedure being resistant towards intelligent assaults may be a element of a survivable Personal computer process. It does not deal with the ability of a computer method to satisfy its goal when it can be impacted by an celebration like a deliberate attack, all-natural disaster or accident, or general failure. A survivable Pc method need to manage to adapt, conduct its primary critical features even when in the hostile environment, regardless of whether various parts of the computer method are incapacitated. Occasionally, even though the complete "Main" process continues to be destroyed.

As an example; a method meant to deliver serious-time critical information and facts pertaining to Evaluation of specialised medications ceases to function to get a couple hrs as a consequence of huge unfold lack of interaction. Even so, it maintains the validity of the data when interaction is restored and methods come back on the net. This Pc technique may very well be considered to have survived below conditions outside of its Manage.

Then again, a similar system fails to computer networking provide steady entry to facts less than ordinary circumstances or operating natural environment, due to a localized failure, will not be judged to own fulfilled its function or achieved its aim.

Fault Tolerant And Very Availability Laptop Systems Several Laptop programs are designed with fault tolerant factors so that they go on to operate when critical parts in the method are unsuccessful. By way of example; many electric power supplies, redundant disk drives or arrays, even a number of processors and technique boards which can proceed to operate even when its peer element is destroyed or fails. The probability of all components designed to be redundant failing at one particular time might be really lower. Nonetheless, a malicious entity that understands how the redundant elements are configured might be able to engineer significant failures throughout the board rendering the fault tolerant factors ineffective.

Significant availability also performs a role within a survivable Laptop program. Even so this style and design ingredient may well not keep Pc process survivability through specified activities including different forms of destructive attack . An illustration of this may very well be a essential Internet assistance which has been duplicated, say throughout a number of devices, to allow steady functionality if a number of the individual World-wide-web servers was to are unsuccessful. The situation is a large number of implementations of substantial availability use precisely the same elements and methodology on all of the individual programs. If an smart attack or destructive function normally takes position and is particularly directed at a specific list of vulnerabilities on one among the person units, it is actually acceptable to assume the remaining Laptop or computer programs that get involved in the highly obtainable implementation also are prone to the same or similar vulnerabilities. A specific diploma of variance need to be reached in how all devices engage in the extremely available implementation.

What is the Difference Between An Assault, Failure, And Accident?

How can These Distinctions Effects A Survivable Computer system Program

----------------------------------------------------------

In many situations Once i am discussing the security of devices with prospects, the problem of small business continuity and catastrophe Restoration arrive up. Most corporations that give a services that they deem important just know the procedure ought to be operational in a steady method. Nevertheless, there is usually minor discussion about the varied gatherings or eventualities bordering this and that can lead to fantastic disappointment in the future when what The client considered was a "survivable Laptop system" will not meet their anticipations. A lot of the merchandise I want to provide up through these discussions is what their Laptop systems goal and goal is, what particularly does ongoing operation necessarily mean to them, and particularly what constitutes an attack, failure, or accident that might cause lack of operation or failure to fulfill targets.

A failure can be outlined as a localized celebration that impacts the operation of the program and its capacity to provide expert services or satisfy its goals. An instance may very well be the failure of a number of important or non-essential capabilities that impact the general performance or In general Procedure of your technique. Say, the failure of the module of code that triggers a cascading function that stops redundant modules from doing adequately. Or, a localize hardware failure that incapacitates the pc method.

An accident is often an occasion that is definitely outside the Charge of the system and directors of a neighborhood / private program. An example of This may be organic disasters for instance hurricanes, if you reside in south Florida like I do, or floods, or extensive spread loss of ability as the utility service provider Slash the incorrect electrical power strains through an upgrade into the grid. About two decades back, a customer of mine who delivers Internet primarily based doc management services couldn't deliver revenue producing solutions for their consumers because a telecommunications engineer Reduce through a key phone trunk 6 blocks from their Business. They missing cellphone and data products and services for virtually per week.

An now we come to "assault". Everyone knows incidents will come about, we understand that anything fails at just one time or Yet another, and typically we can speculate on how these things will come about. An assault, executed by an intelligent, expert personal or team can be very difficult to predict. There are numerous popular and documented kinds of assaults. The condition is intelligence and human imagination repeatedly advance the shape of malicious assaults and will severely threaten even probably the most advanced created survivable Laptop devices. An accident or failure doesn't have the chance to Imagine out of the box or recognize that a really obtainable structure is flawed for the reason that all contributors use the same design and style. The likelihood that an attack could possibly manifest, and be successful might be pretty lower, but the effects can be devastating.

Among The explanations I wrote this short article was For instance that it isn't really all about prevention. Whilst prevention is a giant Element of survivable computer program structure, a vital Laptop procedure will have to be capable to satisfy its targets even when functioning underneath hostile or demanding conditions. Or Should the measures having for prevention in the long run prove inadequate. It could be difficult to think about all the various occasions that could affect a vital Laptop or computer technique however it is feasible to fairly determine the probabilities.

The subject of survivable Computer system techniques is definitely one of complexity and at any time evolving technology. This post has only touched on some of the basic aspects of Laptop or computer procedure survivability. I intend on continuing this information to delve deeper into the subject of survivable Laptop or computer units.

Background Checks: How to Clear A Background Check?

Whether you are looking for a job or a house, you have to go through a background check procedure. Background checks help employers and hiring managers to confirm that their potential employee has a clean history.

Several organizations have a condition of clear record for their employees. With poor credit or criminal offenses in your record, you may not get a dream job. It will be good to review your records before applying for a job. It will help you to correct errors or delete your records. For record expungement, you will need a Record Expungement Attorney.

Criminal Records

Contact the federal, state or local agency to get a copy of a rap sheet. It may include police agency of your state, an office of county clerk and FBI. These records contain offenses that must be expunged. You may find duplicate charges or wrong information related to any other person. If you see an error in criminal records, you have to contact designated federal or state agency. To rectify your record, you have to submit specific documents proving inconsistencies in your record.

Credit Report

Under the Fair Reporting Act, you can get a copy of your credit report from every credit reporting organization once a year. These reports list closed or paid off accounts. In the case of identity theft, the report contains particular errors you may not discover unless you check this record. You can’t ignore even small mistakes because these can endanger your chances of getting your dream job. Make sure to address each error in your credit report. After exposing mistakes, you have to submit an official dispute to respected credit agency along with supporting documentation.

Personnel Records

Several employers may contact your previous employer while checking your background. They may speak to anyone from HR (human resources) who will know you from a personnel file. If the law of your state allows you to access this file, you can ask them to check the file first. If you find errors, ask them to rectify the wrong information. If you have a copy of your performance reviews and other relevant documents, make sure to submit these documents to them. Feel free to present these documents to a potential employer to ensure that they don’t assess you from wrong information.

Miscellaneous Considerations

Some employers contact the listed references to find more information about professional qualifications and character. Your listed references may include your neighbors, friends, and colleagues. They can check your online profiles, so make sure to remove any damaging thing from your social profiles. Get the advantage of third-party services for a background check. You have to review your online profiles, talk to your references and check official records to get a good job.

Types of Background Checks

Here are some essential things that a potential employer check before hiring an employer:

Credit Check

These checks are essential to look at the credit history. Employers can perform these checks with the express permission of a subject of a test. The credit history of a person is a compilation of reports by major credit agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian). You can get their reports once a year. Credit checks prove the credibility of a person for payment of rent. With the help of credit reports, you can check the level of fiscal responsibility of a person. A person with a good credit score is responsibly managing his life and finances responsibly.

Driving Record

Driving is another component that plays a vital role in your credit history. Employers can run a driving record check because they want to choose a safe driver for their office. Driving record of each person or motor vehicle report (MVR) includes:

Traffic accidents

Status of driver’s license

Points for driving record

Convictions and fines for violation of traffic laws

Incidents of law violations

The public record of DUI

Whether the driver’s license is valid, canceled or suspended

Education Verification

It is an alarming sign for resume exaggerators. Potential employers can check the facts and match them with your resume. They can check your educational history. This check is essential to deny or confirm that you have received the education mentioned in the resume. This type of checking is not available with regular background checks. The hiring manager can receive this information from your university.

Reference Check

Several candidates provide references at the end of their resume. Potential employers can call on these numbers to check facts and learn more about your past performance. If you want to mention references, make sure to reach out them and inform them that they can get calls from their potential employer.

Drug Screening

These tests are essential to determine the involvement of a person in illegal drugs. This type of analysis requires special permission and prior notice. These are the self-explanatory test because if the use of a drug is proved, it will be shown in the test. Latest technologies are available to perform these tests without the knowledge of a person. Specific forensic surface tests may identify the amount of substance on a surface that is ideal to know if a person is using illegal substances.

Employment Application and Social Security Number Checks

These are simple checks by employers for the verification of personal information of a potential employee. These checks will determine either a person is sharing his correct details. Employers perform these checks with available data, such as social security number. They evaluate this information to find out if a person is eligible to work with them.

Federal, State and County Criminal Checks

Each background check is different and needs permission from applicants. A criminal inspection reveals the status of criminal history. These are known as rap sheets and contain offenses at federal, state and country level. Several background checks may become deficient in the criminal area. Criminal databases are countless. Rap sheets include the records of:

Felony convictions

Misdemeanor convictions

Warrants

Past arrests

Dismissed charges

Current pending charges

Acquitted charges

This background check may get prospective employees and employers in trouble. Several criminal checks don’t check databases and miss out state offenses. They can match the wrong crimes with a wrong person; even mark a clean person with false convictions.

Civil Judgements and Liens Check

A law imposes a lien on a property to secure the payment for debts, while municipal judgments are ruling in the law pertaining court to non-criminal subjects. Employers can check if you have liens or judgments. Checking the fiscal responsibility of an employee is important. If a person doesn’t have outstanding debts or judgment, he is living a stable life.

Employers may not conduct all checks, but keep it in mind that any negative information can come time light. If you owe money because of a civil judgment, it may become a part of your credit report.

If you can get the advantage of record expungement or seal, make sure to apply for it before sending a job application. Record sealing or expungement is a procedure of requesting that law enforcement companies and courts destroy, seal or modify criminal records. With a criminal record, you can’t get a good job and real estate license. After expunging your records, you will be able to get the advantage of countless opportunities.

After an expungement, your record related to conviction and arrest will be sealed. It is difficult to tell the time frame for the expungement procedure. It may take almost six months or even more. Some records are difficult to locate so these will take more time. Try to hire an experienced record expungement attorney. If you are on probation or have pending unauthorized charges, you can’t apply for expungement.

Unfortunately, some felony convictions can’t be expunged. The felony convictions that can be expunged are drug felonies of class D. For other felonies; it doesn’t matter if your charges are 20, 30 and even 40 years old. Allegations of a felony can be dismissed with prejudice, or you were proved innocent. Offenses that involve children or crimes of sexual nature can’t be expunged. Each state has its own policy for their removal. Moreover, traffic violations are difficult to expunge.

If your charges are dismissed from court, you can apply for an expungement. Every application must meet statutory requirements. A judge may not grant you expungement. You have to prove that your expungement is in the best interest of your state. An expungement motion will not remote all charges, but it is valid for specific charges.

After receiving expungement orders from the court, you can deny the previous convictions. Potential employer or landlord can’t access your criminal history after its successful expungement. You can ensure that your criminal charges are erased and not available for the public by performing a record check. It is safe to check your criminal records before sending a job application. You will need a record expungement attorney to present your case in the court. Start with this attorney.

What to expect when your nursing license is suspended

A reader submitted a question about her RN license being suspended and wonders what she should do to get her license back.

A suspension of one’s professional nursing license is a serious discipline. Only a revocation is grimmer. Although any professional licensure discipline may present problems, a suspension raises unique complications.

The written order of suspension

The board’s written order of suspension is key to strategizing a course to obtain re-licensure. It will include requirements the individual must meet in order to apply for reinstatement of the license.

Although the reader did not include why her license was suspended, the more serious the reason the board took that action against her the more difficult it is to overcome. For example, if the license was suspended because of the commission of a crime for which she was convicted, the board will carefully evaluate the applicant’s character and fitness to be re-licensed.

Requirements in such an instance would most likely require written documentation of successful completion of probation and no other arrests or convictions of a crime.

Likewise, if the suspension occurred because of a clinical error during the provision of patient care, character and fitness to be licensed also will be evaluated, albeit with different factors to consider.

Those factors might include the successful completion, within a specified period of time, of a nursing education program-based course on an applicable patient care topic.

How soon can you be reinstated?

The order also will include when the individual can apply for reinstatement of the license. Although timeframes vary and would depend again on why the nurse was disciplined, the order could specify one or several months to one or several years.

Another obstacle facing a nurse with a suspension of the license is when the suspension took place and when he or she may apply for reinstatement. If the timeframe is a long one, the board may require the successful completion of a clinical update course to ensure that nursing skills are up to date and the applicant is competent to practice nursing.

In states that require continuing education for licensure or re-licensure, that requirement will need to be met before restoration of the license can occur and within the time limits for taking such courses.

This hurdle is not as difficult to overcome as some of the others since the courses that do not include a clinical component can be easily taken online or during an association meeting, as long as the course are ones accepted by the board.

When completion of all requirements of the order of suspension are met, the nurse can then petition the board for reinstatement of the license. Many boards have specific requirements that must be included in the petition, including details of meeting the parameters of the suspension order and attaching supporting documents, letters of recommendation and other information.

Often the board will want to meet with the petitioner so the board members can ask additional questions of the applicant. Likewise, the applicant may want to verbally provide additional information to the board members.

If reinstatement is granted, the board’s order will include any limitations on the nurse’s practice. For example, if the license was suspended because of a substance use disorder, despite successful treatment for that disorder, the board may restrict the nurse from practicing alone on a night shift for a period of years.

Or the board may reinstate the license but place the nurse on probation for a number of years to ensure it can monitor his or her practice during that time. Monitoring could include the submission of a letter to the board from the nurse at designated times detailing her progress during this period, letters from the employer rating the nurse’s employee conduct and his or her employment status, and letters from any treating healthcare providers.

Because the process is a long and involved one requiring a thorough understanding of the legal aspects of the procedure for reinstatement and the state nurse practice act and its rules retaining a nurse attorney or attorney to represent the nurse is essential.

You can read more about professional licensure discipline and boards of nursing.

Editor’s note: Nancy Brent’s posts are designed for educational purposes only and are not to be taken as specific legal or other advice.

Courses related to ‘legal and ethical aspects of nursing’

 CE548: Protect Yourself: Know Your Nurse Practice Act (1 contact hr) Nurses have an obligation to keep abreast of current issues surrounding the regulation of the practice of nursing, not only in their respective states, but also across the nation, especially when their nursing practice crosses state borders. Because the practice of nursing is a right granted by a state to protect those who need nursing care, nurses have a duty to patients to practice in a safe, competent and responsible manner. This requires a nurse licensee to practice in conformity with their states statute and regulations. This course outlines information about nurse practice acts and how they affect nursing practice.

CE655: The Nurses’ Bill of Rights (1 contact hr) The American Nurses Association (ANA) held a nursing staffing summit in Washington, D.C., in 2000. In a survey preceding the summit, 75% of nurses reported the quality of nursing care at their facilities had declined because of inadequate staffing and decreased nurse satisfaction. More than 200 summit attendees determined the need for a document to detail what nurses need and deserve to do the best for their patients. This need served as the impetus for the Nurses’ Bill of Rights, which was approved by the ANA board of directors in 2001. The Nurses’ Bill of Rights is a statement of professional rights rather than a legal document. It establishes an informal covenant between nurses and their employing institutions to help guide organizational policy and to focus discussions between nurses and employers on issues related to patient care and working conditions. Nurses can advocate more effectively for patients’ rights when they have critical information about their own rights. Not every nurse is familiar with the Nurses’ Bill of Rights or related rights described by various state boards of nursing and nursing associations in their position statements. This module provides an overview of them.

60097: Everyday Ethics for Nurses (7.3 contact hrs) This course provides an overview of bioethics as it applies to healthcare and nursing in the U.S. It begins by describing the historical events and forces that brought the bioethics movement into being and explains the concepts, theories and principles that are its underpinnings. It shows how ethics functions within nursing, as well as on a hospitalwide, interdisciplinary ethics committee. The course also explains the elements of ethical decision making as they apply to the care of patients and on ethics committees. The course concludes with a look at the ethical challenges involved in physician-assisted suicide, organ transplantation and genetic testing.

What’s Your Employee Damage Policy?

Not every employee will want to admit to making a mistake and taking the time to fix it. Employees are working long, stressful hours during a snow storm and sometimes mistakes happen. Some company owners put a policy in place to keep employees on track and repair any damages from their mistakes. See what these PlowSite members recommend as a policy for keeping mistakes and damage while on the job at a minimum.

GimmeSnow!!: I had a guy hit three mailboxes in one night a few years ago. He kept telling me he was going to go out and fix them but never showed up. Finally, I had another employee go fix the boxes and it took him 20 hours to figure it all out. I had to pay him $400 plus $200 in materials. I made a rule after that: I will pay for the mailbox but you have to fix it on your own time which I think is fair.

One of my drivers hit a mailbox the other night and I told him he would have to go fix it on his own time after he gets sleep. Then he called me when he was on a commercial property and asked me where to put the snow. I was explaining it to him but he wasn’t getting it. I told him to go in and talk to the manager, as I knew him well. The employee put two medium sized piles of snow in front of their loading bays. The customer called me the next day and said he needed it fixed ASAP. I got a hold of the employee and told him he needed to go to the customer and fix the problem. It took him 10 hours to dig the bay out. Now he wants me to pay him $240 to fix a mistake that could have been prevented in the first place and then he wants me to send another person with him to help fix the mailbox.

I was starting to suspect the employee of milking the clock mid-summer and kept making comments that the times are too long and he needs to get back on track. If I pay him his plowing wage to go fix all his mistakes after all the snow is done, that just means that he gets more money and I feel like there is no incentive for him to not be careless. I’m curious to see what everyone else’s policy is on this.

ktfbgb: I would never pay them their time to fix the mistakes. Period. Yes, paying for materials yourself seems OK but would be dependent on if I found that it was because of negligence on the driver’s part. Hitting three mailboxes in a single night seems pretty negligent to me, bordering on intentional. But I’m tough to work for and don’t let any of my guys take advantage of me. I am, however, more than fair according to my long-time employees who have a good work ethic and common sense. And I wouldn’t pay him to move the snow from the loading bay either. I give everyone a copy of the satellite image of the property with the owners/managers notes on exactly where they want snow piled. So, no excuses with me. If you’re not doing that, you may want to consider it. My customers really appreciate that I hand them the satellite image and ask them to mark approved locations. It makes sure everyone is on the same page before the first snow flies.

Randall Ave: As far as the first guy hitting three mailboxes, he’d have been fired right then. Legally you have to pay them for all their time, unless you have a previous agreement on such matters. Before he got to the commercial lot, the specifics on where the snow was plowed to, etc. should have been gone over. But any person should know not to dump the snow in front of the loading dock. When I had the town bid contract, I swear the one year it always snowed on recycle night. If it’s in the road its fair game.

1olddogtwo: A point system needs to be put in place.

Jeep_thing: Guess it depends on the supply/demand of plow operators in your area. Is it hard to find a decent guy? Or do you have to settle for a warm body?

kimber750: You are probably not going like this but here it goes: Where is the management? Employee asks a question and you tell him to talk to someone else? Old saying, “Don’t let the employees run the company.” You are the one letting them milk the clock. Twenty hours to fix three mailboxes is absurd. To me it sounds you have let the employees get away with everything and anything, and now you want to change it, well good luck. Remember employees are only as good as the training you give them. Yes, some can’t be trained, I have dealt with my fair share of them, and those are the ones you need to replace.

Mr.Markus: My father used to say: “There are no bad employees, just bad managers.” I think what the saying means is that as a good manager, you fire the bad employees which makes you a good manager. Keep them around, and you’re a bad manager.

Mark Oomkes: So, you’re going to fire a guy that screwed up and not pay him for the time on the clock. He gets pissed, goes to Labor Department and you get an audit of everything. Then you get fined and pay the employee for his time anyway. You cannot withhold pay for mistakes unless you have an agreement signed by them, and their pay cannot go below minimum wage. You must pay them for the time on the clock. Like it or not, it’s the law. And it’s your fault for the pile being in the wrong place, not his.

iceyman: We print out full-size pictures of every lot and draw exact spots where snow can and can’t go. Not his fault at all for not knowing where to put piles. And for $200, I’ll fix your mailboxes in two hours.

JustJeff: Managing mistakes or not, anybody that pushes snow in front of loading docks ought to be fired.

FredG: We all know the employees we hire need a chief, but to knock down a mailbox and then repeat it, I don’t think I need him. As far as fixing it, he won’t have the brains if he knocked it down. A guy that’s sent to a job and doesn’t know where to put the snow should never have been turned loose. I understand some need some degree of training. I will say this again, the laid-off heavy highway guys, laborers, operators, etc. are the guys to catch. They know about traffic and running trucks and equipment in small areas with Jersey barriers separating them from traffic. All are safety minded or they’d probably be dead or have had killed somebody else. You may need some creative payroll.

BUFF: My policy with employees is that damage caused by negligence is their problem. This is only if it’s a continual problem over a three-month period, each time they are talked to and the incident documented. The third time they have the choice of being fired or making it right. They know this policy going into the job and I figured if they’re signing on after knowing that, they’ll be good employees and it weeds out the bad ones. I’ve only had to do this once and he quit.

It’s making sure the employee understands company policy and expectations. When you consider the resources and money involved in training an employee, it’s foolish to invest in a warm body that creates rework along with not hitting the quoted labor/equipment budgets. Everyone has their own protocol and approach. I’ve found what I’m doing works well for me.

Foybles: Driver’s meetings, site maps and even walk-throughs on more demanding properties is essential to reducing expenses from mistakes and other types of rework. With that said, I personally have inadvertently pulled up a 6-foot section of curb. It happens.

GimmeSnow!!: I had an HR firm write my handbook and there is a clause in it for neglect and carelessness (although I do not remember the exact wording or what it entails). My shop manager is going to cement the post in a bucket and set it out and I will pay someone to put it back in the ground. I will pay the employee $10 per hour for digging the snow out of the bays. I was angry when I wrote the original post, but since then I have hired two more drivers and took him out of the salt rotation. He will be on residential only from now on and as soon as we are caught up, I will send someone to the back end of his route. If he picks his times up and doesn’t have any accidents, he can earn some more hours. Any more accidents and he will be moved to the walk crew. This guy has been with me for three years and has been trained on a different contract. The contract that he was on decided to go through a re-bid process on Dec. 12, so it was either he sits at home and I let my subs work, or the subs sit at home and he works. The subs will be back next week anyway because we will be back on the contract. The lot is a container factory and there are truck trailers and containers everywhere and they shift things constantly so the map is irrelevant. He was being lazy and did not want to move the snow twice to get it where it needed to go. The thing that pissed me off was that he was playing dumb on the phone, which is why I told him to talk to the manager.
