[quote=Anonymous]This is so typical passive non profit behavior it makes me crazy.  So you have someone who is not working out, and you - for YEARS - sublty encourage them to leave their job, and they won't do it and oh no, what do we do now.

You want them to leave.  Why should she?  She has a good job where she doesn't have to do a thing.

Time to quite pussy footing around and actually manage.  She is dragging down morale.  WHy should anyone work hard when you don't have to?  She has been there THREE YEARS TOO LONG.

Quite honestly, fire her.  Offer her a nice severance of 2-3 months, contigent on her resigning.  Get her to sign a non disclosure that says neither of you will talk badly about the other.  She can say she left on her own terms, you pay her a lump sum.

Sure, you can drag this out.  You could signal your seriousness by having a performance plan and saying she will be fired if things don't change.  But will that be enough?  I think you need to cut your losses.

It's hard, but you can do hard things.  [/quote]
