Correy Kitchen Case Study

Correy Kitchen was an inexperience planner, per himself this is his first planning job that did not know how to work as a team or respectfully and professionally seek information to help him conduct his task as a community planner. Couple of times when he first joined SW Valley team, I tried to guide him about the process and his response was that he will talk about this with Adam Villani. He has constantly shown me that he is not interested to have a healthy and positive teamwork. Series of other constant incidents proof that his style is working around people rather than directly seek help and training to complete his tasks. Unfortunately, I found it very hard to work with these style and always was hoping that this was going to be handled
Unfortunately, couple of times both Correy Kitchens and Nelson Rodriguez mentioned that the idea of having this meeting and discuss work related issues is “dumb” and unnecessary. In appropriate comments from CPWWHWH team discourage us to conduct the working group meetings to collaborate, corroborate and discuss issues. From Michelle Montenegro, Erika Lamb, and my point of view these was a more appropriate way of transferring the methodology and process to each other rather that working around each
Adam Villani was involved and explained that the process is proper and accurate. Background: from the incident on October 23 through December 8, Correy Kitchen would approach Manuel Elizarraras asking him what he was tasked to. Since Correy Kitchen and Nelson Rodriguez were unable to seek information through Alvao Parra, it seems that their only option was to question Manuel Elizarraras. I am sitting right next cubic to Manuel Elizarraras and could hear their conversations couple of time a week. Every time, Manuel Elizarraras very respectfully and clearly explained to Correy Kitchen what he has been tasked and if Correy Kitchens has any question, he could ask me instead. As I explained above, I respect people’s style and never complaint to my Supervisor, Adam Villani, that I was not comfortable. But it was disrespectful on Correy Kitchen and Nelson Rodriguez when on December 8 they have started criticizing and questioning my methodology to a Professional Student Worker. For the first time, I have shared my concerns to Adam Villani alone. I believe it was not professional from Correy Kitchen and Nelson Rodriguez to criticize and discuses my work with a Professional Student Worker. It would be more constructive, if they would share their concerns directly with me. Adam
