[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5926985, member: 23516"] I thought so. 95% of the people were adults who wanted to be treated like adults, so that was easy. The hard part is the other 5% who will consume so much of your time. You can coach them, reason with them, work with them and they will fight you ever step of the way and argue about everything. So I'd do what any good manager does when all of those avenues fail to bring about the desired results, and discipline them according to policy. When a guy is sitting at home on a decision day trying to come up with his PIP after getting 2 warning letters in 7 weeks, it can bring about change. Often he realizes that he's on thin ice and needs to reconsider how he's been going about things. Other times he decides that he's just too smart for everyone at FedEx and people just have it in for him and all of his performance and conduct issues are due to politics and aren't his fault and FedEx doesn't deserve such a rock star employee like him so he should just quit without notice. Either way, it's a benefit for the workgroup. [/QUOTE]
