...it's no wonder a majority of business owners prefer the slow pain of keeping an unproductive worker on the company payroll, than the sudden, potentially sharper pain of taking them off.
"Think of it like someone who would rather suffer with a dull toothache than go to the dentist and face the drill,"
Yeah, that may be true, but if you make your good employees pick up the slack and let the incompetent employees continue to be incompetent, I guarantee you will lose those good employees.
And if you're like my current boss, you will be mad at the good employee for leaving. Even when she has just spent a year trying to get rid of the bad employees.
Also, giving the silent treatment until you are ready to ask the pardoned prisoner... I mean leaving employee.... to help you out whenever possible only confirms that said employee made the right choice.
Seriously.
I told her that giving me 90% of the previously departed paralegal's work was too much. After telling me she would change (i.e. not be so negative) and would take on some of that work herself, I watched her turn it all over to PL/Biller. Along with my job. Ummmmm. What am I missing here?
One more week.
