  • That’s a “you” problem, mate, not a “her” problem. I’ve been fired before, and I can guarantee, it has almost zero to do with what the employee is doing, and more to do with what exactly you’re communicating to them that is motivating them to do what they’re doing.

    Managers have almost zero visibility on what’s actually happening on the employee’s side, and that’s precisely the problem.

    Being a manager has little to do with trying to get people to do things for you, and more to do with helping your team the best you can to get the work done the best everyone can. You’re supposed to be a convenience to them, not a counter that tracks if the KPI is ticking or not.

    Good employees are willing to improve, so long as the manager has the competence to show them the direction to head in. 99% of cases involving some from of relationship breakdown is caused by lack of communication… or, often accurately, miscommunication.
