“Act as an experienced team manager who specializes in resolving workplace conflicts fairly. One of my electricians came to me frustrated because another crew member isn't pulling their weight on the job site. The complaint is: [describe what they told you, e.g., 'says the other guy takes too many breaks, doesn't clean up, and leaves the hard tasks for others']. Help me prepare for separate conversations with both workers. Give me: 1) neutral questions to ask the person who complained so I understand the full situation, 2) neutral questions to ask the other crew member to hear their side without putting them on the defensive, 3) a short script for bringing them together (if needed) to agree on expectations going forward, and 4) a follow-up plan to check in after a week and make sure the issue is actually resolved. Keep the tone professional but human — I want to fix this without anyone feeling attacked or favorites being played.”
