[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be much more hands on moving forward, don’t give her much leeway and micromanage if you have to, document everything. I would not entertain the racial assumptions at all but rather respond with very specific examples of where she’s screwing up. Tell her to take complaints outside of her job description to HR if she continues. [/quote]
I had to deal with two new hires like this. They would not take feedback and did not improve their performances. Both were let go during probation and both claimed bias due to race. One grieved the probation and filed an EEO compliant. It was investigated and there was no action taken and they were released.

The second one sued us. They lost. We had to go to trial. Everything was documented and there were numerous witnesses who corroborated the manager’s assessments. There was nothing unreasonable about the manager’s requests or feedback. We had good policies and good legal counsel.

I’m sorry this is happening. Document everything about the specific feedback you’re giving in writing or in person and keep all emails.

You may need help from HR sooner rather than later. [/quote]
