I think this is always good to revisit.
I am helping with a situation that is not all that uncommon. I am sure this has happened to you as well. A manager wants to let someone go. Naturally, there is no documentation. So I ask the question “Why?” “Because he is incompetent, he just can’t do the job.” I sigh and begin my line of questioning.
The questions
Q1: “Have you told the employee you were unhappy with his work?”
Ans. “Yes, we have met with him three times over the last year.”
