My interactions were totally appropriate. The first time I had to correct the work, I provided coaching and guidance, along with specific instructions. The second time, the instructions were not completely followed, so I trained more and gave examples of what was wrong.. then I said I don't want to keep having the same. conversation. Then i asked if a more senior level employee can oversee and manage the work of the younger, less experienced employee. Which is what my boss had told me to say to these two. So I did. Nothing wrong with following my boss's direction.
