Members Mike LX-R Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 So it's a bit of a rough feeling to let go of 2 employees right before the holidays. They were a disciplinary problem and were not performing and meeting their quotas so it had to be done. It was a team decision, not entirely my own this time, and I wanted to get it done last Friday but my HR guy is a lazy pain in the ass and didn't want to rush prepare their last check until today. I debated waiting until after the holidays but dragging the whole thing out for another week or two wasn't the right answer either.The department team leader/supervisor is a bit torn up about it. She's been having some weaknesses in her leadership lately that contributed to these two chicks rotting over time. At least she was able to admit that she could have lead them better and forced higher expectations before they just started taking {censored} for granted and getting lazy. I just told her that I can definitely relate to the feeling. Certainly everybody is responsible for their own performance but a strong leader will manage to pull the best out of people. I've had to learn this the hard way, letting go of someone who was directly under my management where I knew that there was more I could have done to help their performance to be adequate.In other news... I got a $5K bonus today and I'm happy as {censored} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's the reality of it all. And you know... the thing is that I have to turn away A LOT of good potential candidates when I'm doing interviews for an open position, so when I hire somebody who turns out to be an idiot... IN THIS ECONOMY... I'm even less patient with bafoonery. The good thing is that I already had found their replacements two weeks ago, who have already exceeded expectations with only a minimal amount of training. It's all for the better, but I post here sharing my mild reluctance to fire due to the holiday because I can't let that sentiment show here at work.

Members sleewell Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 i just had to tell someone i was selling a house to that even though i told him he was approved for the loan the title work just came back and because he has liens for 62k in back child support we cant sell him the house. i guess they have been denied financing at many other banks and were really excited when they got approved with us.so to summarize: dont be a deadbeat dad and you wont have to get bad news during the holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other, who's a bitch and talks back when she's criticized, was crying and looking all sad and remorseful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
