Rewrite this: One destructive way to handle this situation with DJ would be to downplay the personal issue and insist on strict adherence to work schedules without showing empathy. I might say something like, "I understand your situation, but being late affects the team. You need to figure out a way to manage your personal issues without affecting work. It's not our problem; it's yours." This type of response is unsupportive, lacks empathy, and could exacerbate the emotional strain DJ is already facing
