Delivering Bad News
As a manager, I would first to collect all the information on this certain employee and make sure that I have all documents that have shown that he has been performing at a substandard level. If all documentation has proven that he has been substandard, I would take action to help prove his standards. I would call him into my office and I would sit him down and tell him why he or she has been called to my office. I am sure he or she would be defensive but I would make sure he or she sees the documents that prove that he or she has performed to a substandard level.
After all of the documents have been discussed with the employee, I would then give the employee a chance to tell his side of the story and I will listen to see if he or she has a legitimate argument against the bad documents that has been processed against him or her. After the employee has stated his concerns, I would send him off to continue his or her work for the day. I would call in all co-workers that have complained about the certain employee and I would get their input on the situation. I would also call all customers that had problems with this certain employee and hear their stories about this employee. After all parties have told their stories, I then would take action.
This is a process and I want to make sure that I have heard all parties before I made a decision on this employee. Firing an employee is a big decision because it affects the person’s life in many ways. If all of the information that I received from all parties were proof that the employee was performing at a bad standard and was hurting the company, I would have to fire him on the spot, but in most cases like this all parties should have different opinions on certain employees. Since I am a nice person and I have a warm heart when it comes to situations like this, I would call the employee back into my office the next day and I would give the employee another chance to prove him or herself to me. I will give him or her 30 days to prove to me that they are a asset to the company. If I receive the same feedback from all parties involved after 30 days then I will have no other choice to let them go at that time.
I don't believe I am posting feedback in the right place. This seems more the space to comment on the "Delivering Bad News" instead of overall feedback for the blog.
ReplyDeleteI wasn’t quite sure what to make of your blog. I believe a subtitle explaining “Dawg Talk” would be very informative. I am not sure why but I like the red and black. Being that your coloring is very plain it leaves you open to be very creative. Sometimes images and stuff can be seen as clutter, but I think your “vibe” will go very nicely with the addition of images.
Who is your audience? Perhaps find something in common or get an attention grabbing heading to attract those you want your blog to be geared to. Also your purpose will be clearer when you subtitle your blog and follow a common theme.
You did succeed in making your profile. I have noticed others, myself included, who have forgotten to add any profile information. You are going in the right direction in making your blog more complete.
