So I’ve had a newer hire for a few months. Lisa seemed fine in the beginning but then I noticed weird occurrences between her and my employees.

Certain things they did was not okay - once I was texting employee A about tasks. And I threw in a mention about Lisa splitting x tasks with them. And put it in the same message to make it easier — and I got a response back basically saying Lisa was doing all the work today …. Later to find out that Lisa saw employee As phone and responded back as them.

Mind you it was nothing malicious, just straight talking about tasks —- I sort of ignored that red flag and wish I didn’t

But now I’ve had 5 employees, all super great employees, dependable, have been there for a long time —- all come forward and share different experiences about working with Lisa.

Lisa is nice, albeit a little quirky, and never acts certain ways in front of me. I have seen her talk rudely to customers though —-

So I’m at a point where I just think she doesn’t fit in with the team and want to let her go. I am in an at will state —-

But what I’m questioning is do I try to let her know // give her a chance to rebuttal or change attitude. Or just let her go and that be that.

    Fire her. “Business is slow… it’s not working out”. Same day document what other employees said. If it’s say day they will be wrapped in the drama and over share. Do it after she is gone … so they don’t think they were the culprit. It might also help you realize it was the right thing to do.
