Lygonos,
I've answered several times with examples and deleted them all. Too close.
If you are genuinely trying to do the best for the business, and the best for the welfare of employees, both of which I believe i am known for, then it is simply a matter of helping those concerned understand reality.
It is very, very rare that one meets a truly malicious person, they are usually just in the wrong place, scared and defensive. And in my experience typically have been very badly managed in the past. By an large no employee chooses a job that they can't do on purpose.
It is a matter of making people genuinely feel that I am seeking the right solution for everybody, that I am the person or organization that will help them get it, and that screwing with me will go very very badly wrong.
The really, really tough ones, the ones that keep me awake, are where you have a genuinely good person, good work ethics, valuable in the past, but that no longer has a skillset that the bus9iness requires but that really, really needs the job.
Getting rid of t***s is easy, but strangely very rarely the position. People prefer to be valuable and successful, it's a matter of giving them the right opportunity to be so.
The genuinely malicious and useless will usually take the first severance offer they can get their hands on.
Usually getting shot of someone is followed up fairly swiftly by dumping whoever managed them as well.
One takes no action until one understands all the actions that one will take and the implications of them.
One remembers that one has a goal, and that one doesn't really give a s*** why someone leaves, just so long as they do. And if it helps them to tell everybody that they 'won' then it's no skin off my nose and one less problem in my day.
Egos have no place.
I'll answer in detail with helpful examples in email if you are sufficiently interested, but not in public.
