[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one will say they pushed someone out "for no reason." You may not know the reason or consider it valid but if it happened to you, the person had a reason they considered valid.[/quote]

This. I am a principal in a school and inherited an incompetent assistant principal. He was a nice person, but way in over his head. He took no initiative on anything and had to be prompted to do things. He thought he knew instruction, but didn’t. Wouldn’t talk at meetings. I spent countless hours working with him, setting up systems to support him, provide coaching, etc, and he just wasn’t cutting it. The final straw came when he lied about a project and attempted to blame others. If you were to ask him today (he’s back to being a teacher), the narrative he’s written for himself is that I went after him and that other assistant principals are mediocre yet they still have jobs. He actually said to me that our district “owed” him because he had been a teacher for many years in Title 1 schools.  :roll: [/quote]

[b]But did you “push him out” or just provide him with feedback on his poor performance and then replace him when he didn’t improve.[/b] It sounds like you had a valid reason and we’re open about it, he just didn’t want to listen. That’s different from a manager who has no negative feedback but just makes work unpleasant so you leave.[/quote]

The latter, and I have all the documentation to support it. But if you were to talk to him, he would say the former. [/quote]
