[quote=Anonymous]DH is self employed and has a problem employee. She is highly efficient and does great work. Makes mistakes but rarely. But she's  a loaded gun. It irritates her to no end that the other staff members are not as productive and efficient as she is. She claims to have a stronger work ethic and lets them know it sometimes. She also misinterprets other staff's comments, as benign as they may be. She thinks everybody is out to offend or insult her. Most of the staff dislikes her for this. She is highly emotional, perhaps because of her belief that she is working hard and nobody else is at the job, or because she's going through her own personal issues. She is separated from her spouse and, in order to support herself and her two young children, she needs a salary increase. Keep in mind she just got a salary increase recently but she asks for another exorbitant increase.  DH tells her 'no.'. In the past, she has yelled at another employee. She has used an expletive once at the office. And when DH rejected her request for a raise, she said, "I'm disappointed in you." She goes on to threaten that she won't be putting in so much effort anymore because she feels it hasn't gotten her anything. She threatens to find another job. DH said that she has to do what is best for her but a salary increase is out of the question. What do you make of an employee like this? Would you fire her for the "I'm disappointed in you" comment?[/quote]
