[URL="http://www.hrhero.com/hl/articles/2013/06/21/finding-the-right-way-to-deal-with-less-than-ideal-employees/"]Our latest HL blog post discusses a CareerBuilder poll that shows 27% of bosses have an employee they wish would leave the company. [/URL]It then goes on to list several terrible ways that bosses handle these employees (rather than actually addressing the issues), including:
[LIST]
[*]Pointing out shortcomings in the employee’s performance more often (27 %).
[*]Reducing responsibilities (21 %).
[*]Hiring someone else to eventually replace the employee (12 %).
[*]Moving the employee to another work area (8 %).
[*]Keeping the employee out of the loop regarding new company developments (8 %).
[*]Communicating primarily via e-mail instead of in person or over the phone (7 %).
[*]Failing to invite the employee to certain meetings or involve him/her in certain projects (6 %).
[*]Failing to invite the employee to social gatherings with coworkers (3 %).
[/LIST]
Have you had a manager who would rather be passive aggressive than address the issues with a problem employee?
