Should I let go of a long-time employee who's no longer performing?
- Been with company 8+ years - Was excellent, now consistently missing targets - I've had 3 performance conversations, small improvements but not enough - Team morale is suffering because others are picking up the slack - Personally, I feel loyal to this person and guilty about considering termination Question: How do you balance loyalty to legacy employees vs. what's right for the team and business? What would you do?
