THE SCENARIO

In this one, the employee is walking on an extremely thin line. His performance has extremely disintegrated, and he is about ready to get fired.

Sam has been an excellent employee since he started working in your department two years ago. However, in the last few weeks, he has not been performing up to standards:

  • He has been late three times
  • His production goals have been below standards on many occasions.
  • Two of his coworkers have reported that he seems to be extremely agitated most of the time and in a “very cranky mood.” (You checked this out with some other employees and found it to be true.) Today he was late for the forth time. You have called him into your office for a performance counseling meeting.

RECORDS YOU HAVE ON SAM

  • April 6 - Production 5% below standard
  • April 17 - 30 min late
  • April 20 - Production 12% below standard
  • April 24 - Production 14% below standard
  • April 29 - 25 min late
  • May 5 - 35 min late
