[quote=Anonymous]These two started within 3 months of each other. Employee A is an absolute rockstar. He has been very capable at his job, well liked by internal and external, saved the company money, travels responsibly and doesn’t waste company funds. Employee b is the direct opposite, but about 20 years older. Not well liked by my team, hasn’t had big wins for the company, is a massive suck up and acts differently when I’m in office vs at home.

Employee A was going to leave the company and came with another offer in hand. Much higher salary, title bump, more desirable city, etc. I refused to lose him and our EVP basically told me we’ll find whatever money we need to keep him. So we promoted him and gave him a raise to keep him.

Employee b is now asking why she got passed over and why she hasn’t been also promoted. It’s causing even more issues than the usual problems she causes on the team. I figured this would happen but how do I tell an employee that is older that she simply does not perform at the same level as the other one? She doesn’t have internal advocates, the EVP doesn’t care if she were to quit tomorrow….I can’t tell her that because I think she’s an okay employee but no where near where she sees herself. Help![/quote]
