RE: Pablo showing up today?

Quick update on this - Apparently he just told a bunch of folks in the dining room that he was up until 4am doing monitoring (the shift was from 7-11 so not sure why he was up that late, and if he was - it means that research didn't get notes until it's too late to react). He also said that he will never do monitoring again even if we assign it to him, and that the researchers should just watch and take notes on the TV that he books. Everyone does monitoring. All he had to do was sit and watch fox news (his old network, where he books most of his TV) for 4 hours and take notes, like everybody else. It's not tough, but he thinks the rules don't apply to him. And soon enough the rest of the team will begin to imitate his behavior if he is continually rewarded for not doing his job. That's your perception, and it's wrong. He's not delivering on media monitoring, and I'm going to push him on that. But he has been a rock star on the bookings, and it has paid off big time with our presence with Brooklyn and the networks, and for the DNC to look serious. I asked him to book you more on radio to get you up to speed, so you too will benefit from that. We had a shitty booking operation before, we're more than competitive now. It's not nothing.

More concerned about morale on the team when they see Pablo fucking up and being let off the hook, and they see him not coming in to work with no pushback. Nobody wants to get up and monitor coverage on a Sunday morning but it's part of the job. If they see others on the team ignore responsibility with impunity, they will start following suit. I'm not sure it'll hold with TJ. You've given him warnings, so just hold on to the prior documentation, in case you need it again.

Not sure that approach will work with Pablo. Meaning since HR raised it with him? Or just you talking to him. If he's listening to you now, that's great.

As per yesterday's conversation, if we're rewarding his incompetence/insubordination by taking him off of sunday rotation, least we can do is would make him do more monitoring. Has he reached out to you about why he isn't here? Begin forwarded message: Thank you to those of you who volunteered to monitor, it is much appreciated. As per usual please take notes in the caucus-primary group and send video requests via email for interviews with candidates/staff/surrogates/family/leadership. Channel assignments are below. Be on the lookout for good commentary about Trump/GOP and if there are any issues at polling places in WV or NE. Polls close at 7:30 PM ET in West Virginia and 9:00 PM ET in Nebraska. Monitoring goes until 11pm however if election results are not in by that time we will need to monitor past 11pm. One note on Trump interviews. So far Trump is doing an interview with O'Reilly at 8pm tonight. The person who is assigned Fox News is assigned to monitor election coverage. Sarge will take care of watching and taking notes for the Trump interview mentioned above. Please let me know if you have questions.
