![]() Imagine if I told you that you had to work 40 hours a week and then got mad at you when you worked 40 hours a week because you "only do the minimum". You have minimum performance requirements because that is the minimum requirement to stay employed. His performance: You state that he does the bare minimum and that is not acceptable. I would say it sounds like you have three problems. ![]() I can't threaten to fire him, because I couldn't go through with it.Īny answer, comment or suggestion is much appreciated, as I really don't know what to do at this point.
