One of my colleagues is in a relationship with a girl from the shifts in my company.
I don't care about other peoples personal affairs and if they like each other ... well it's their decision.
But the problem comes from the fact that that shift is really problematic. The people in the team can't work with each other. From that - bad quality material, I can't sell. My boss gave them final warning, they should work as good as before that.
My colleagues, as a guy in love, makes everything possible to protect his "girl" and his possible mother in law( the girl's mom is also in that shift.
I dont know how to react. I know that that mother and the girl are making the disturbances, but HE is protecting them too much.
If someone has an idea, please do share.
P.S And please don't tell me to talk with him. A guy in love... It's impossible to give him an advise. After all it's his love life.
Sorry for the mistakes.

Talking to him first seems like thats the only option - well the fairer option. The only other one is to go higher and say to his boss that you think his outside relationships are affecting his ability to do his job and that is affecting you in trying to do your job. At the end of the day you have to think about yourself because his incompetence could cost you your job. You have to look at the bigger picture and not doing anything is worse than talking to him.

At the end of the day, his performance will matter, now if you have already coached or talked to him regarding this, then it's time to show him his numbers. Let his numbers tell him the real score with his performance. Give him chance to improve in his performance by monitoring his weekly numbers and if nothing has changed, put him into an improvement contract wherein he needs to improve or he will rank at the bottom of your team.
