At my firm, our HR lead hates this cliche and tells us not to do it when giving peer or manager feedback during review cycles. She calls it, "the sh*t sandwich".

Your management style sounds a lot like my boss/mentor that I followed to the new company. Very honest, and giving all the tools and support to each person and pushes them in the right direction. It's up to the employee to take the reins and push themselves forward.
It's one thing my boss actually pointed out to me how every time I would take on a little more, I would run with it and exceed his expectations. It sounds like your employee is very similar to the people I left behind at the old company (one of them being the one who cussed me out): never any ambition to improve themselves and continually on coast-mode.
I have always appreciated management style like yours and my mentor, and it works for me. Some people just don't take to that style.
Funny how similar your issue is to one my boss had: a lazy individual didnt want to comunicate with their boss, and lashes out to everyone but the boss.
May your future ex-employee have the day they deserve.
I hate these managerial tricks. It's never that complicated.
Lead with the compliment to make sure you set the tone correctly. "Let me start by saying you're a great employee and we're lucky to have you on our team. But I need to talk to you about <thing>." It's all about context and phrasing. Is this constructive, positive criticism? Or are you shanking the person. If you make it clear that you appreciate the person and want them to do great work, criticism is usually taken much better.
Unless they suck.

Are the cis okay?
In November, when I started my current job, I had to pass a 50 lb lift test. 10 reps picking up and putting down a 50 lb box. I passed, but I struggled with 4 reps to go.
Yesterday, for my new job, I had to do the same test. 10 reps felt easy and I could have done much more.

Anybody here going to the MN State Fair should check out the crop art exhibit. A buddy of mine from hockey usually finishes in the top 3, last year winning it all with his Yoda portrait. This year he made a Super Mario 3 mural(?), and it took him a little more than 400 hours to complete it.
Does anybody else follow Bad Medical Takes on twatter?

MN state fair’s first day. I got there about 8:30, left around 3:00. They started bingo, kicked out the old folks from whatever building that was. My wife is crazy, and crazy about bingo so we played the noon game. I won the first of the five games, prize was a pair of tickets to next the fair next year along with a few cheap bits of fair swag.

Random question for the legal scholars here:
The State of Illinois publishes their Fishing Regulation book each year. I try and grab a paper copy if I can find one and also have the PDF bookmarked on my phone. I read this and use this as my basis for making sure I am in compliance with the laws/regs.
Recently it was pointed out that an act that I regularly do (Use a cast net to catch Shad/Carp to use as bait) is LEGAL as it's printed in the Reg Book but when looked up via the actual legislation that is posted on the IL General Assembly page, it includes a stipulation regarding location that is NOT noted in the Reg Book. This discrepancy does technically make my use of a cast net ILLEGAL.
Specifically the difference is the phrase "The taking of aquatic life with a dip net, cast net, or shad scoop shall not be permitted within 100' of the base of any dam". That phrase appears in the legislation, but is omitted from the Reg Book. Obviously the Reg Book is a summary. But many of the other regulations appear verbatim in these two documents.
So here's the question: Do I have a valid legal defense if the Reg Book seemingly allows a looser interpretation of the law than the actual legislation? Like assume that I'm ticketed for using the cast net within 100' of a dam. (And yes, I'm aware that different jurisdictions can be different. I just want to know what is taught in Law 101 here.)
As a Fisherman, I get that it's my responsibility to know the laws and remain legal. But I also feel that by reading the published Regulation Book, I have done my part and that reading/understanding actual legislation is above and beyond my capabilities as a regular person.
Thankfully nothing has happened for me to actually try this defense, but I feel it's something that I believe I should know. The whole reason I keep the PDF AND hard copy of the Reg Book is because I've had LEO (usually Local or non-DNR LEO) straight up not know the basics of the rules in question. Presenting the actual book has helped me on several occasions. With as much as I fish, I feel that this eventually becomes a "when" not "if" scenario =(

That’s it. The man needs this - he’s a Gophers sports fan through and through.

I don't understand why he did it but its incredible
The MN State Fair has a crop art competition. He’s submitted work for a number of years now. Last year was a Yoda portrait, but I don’t recall the work from the years prior to that. He constantly ends up in the top 3.

I was diagnosed with ADHD last December and started medication in January.
And with the management came executive function. For example, with my MSW, now I'm finishing my assignments well before they're due.

Thats great to have such success. I have two nephews with ADHD, one being tested and the other going without treatment. Both of them are the same age, but it I night and day in how they act around people.

Glad to hear. Keep on top of stuff and don't use the meds as too much of a crutch. Eventually that procrastination can sneak back in.
