Terminating the Screamer

[bright sparks]

I might go one step furthur and give them written notice in their hand and say "I know you are always in a hurry to leave when I need to talk to you so here is your written notice." Because you have something in your hand to give to him then it is harder for him to leave. Also try standing blocking the door....I think the email is okay, but you are just helping him to save face when he should really be forced to face this in reality rather than virtually. I'm not sure how he was able to leave part way through talking to him? Did you not raise your voice and say excuse me I am talking to you? When he walked away did you just let him? I for sure would have been like "Excuse me! I was in the middle of talking to you, please come back." I would have said that once I saw him opening the door to leave before he even got his stride going. Good Luck
