4.6 general chat
Ha! No. One of my colleagues just fired a guy this morning. He told me that he "just couldn't perform". I smh at managers like that.
If I can get a guy who is paid $17/hr to perform like a guy who is paid $30/hr ...my colleague can at least get one individual to perform to the minimum standards, in theory. Right?

Here's the thing with crappy/lazy employees and unemployment.
Unemployment isn't such an easy things to acquire with any good/smart company.
I'll take a moment to explain how things are run in my place of work.
Say there is a crappy/lazy employee in my department. His name is Bob. He just doesn't get it. He's inattentive, forgetful, and has a terribly difficult time completing tasks in a satisfactory manner. It is my duty as a manager to get this employee to perform up to or exceed par.
I will take time out of my day to help Bob improve his skills and work ethic. These are things that are not easily done! I must help Bob isolate and resolve the issue at hand.
I train Bob. A week later he is beginning to slip back into his old ways! I take time out of my day to refresh his memory of the importance of his contributions in the work place. He is now back on track.
A week later he is beginning to slip back into his old ways!! I pull Bob aside and sit him down in a neutral environment as to not spark a confrontation. I tell Bob, "Hey, Bob, this is a verbal warning. You must get your crap together or the next warning will be documented and put on file". This usually works.
Now that I have given Bob a verbal warning, the safe termination process has begun.
1) Verbal warning
2) Write up #1
3) Write up #2 (last chance)
4) Termination
Now, when someone is terminated with this process, they will not qualify for unemployment benefits. If an employee is terminated because of bad attendance/punctuation he/she will not qualify for benefits.
The only way someone will qualify for benefits is to be laid off, or outright fired for no good reason. And by no good reason, I mean something along the lines of "you have bad hair, you're fired" type of shyt.
Trust me guys...a manager who does everything in his power to get their subordinates to perform well is far more valuable than one who goes on a termination rampage.
Anyone around have management experience?
