[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Senior federal manager here.

OP, employees with their backs to the wall frequently file complaints and grievances.  That's a fact of life for a manager.

You don't want to do or say anything retaliatory -- indeed the flavor of this post is kind of retaliatory.  Ask yourself why we (your DCUM audience) needed to know that she's an older female?  Was that relevant?  Why?  Do you in fact respect her?

If she has performance issues, continue to deal with them as you would any other poor performer who had not filed a complaint -- with a performance plan (a PIP if she's been rated Unacceptable).  But do not do anything that even appears retaliatory.  And as a PP said, worth with HR and legal counsel every step of the way on this.  Posting on social media is a terrible idea.  DISCOVERY.[/quote]

Np here. How can you describe op's post as "retaliatory"?  He described the facts.  You called her "older", op didn't.  There's nothing identifiable in his post, at all.  This could be any office.  This sort of kid glove handling of incompetent federal employees is frustrating to taxpayers who know it wouldn't fly in private industry. [/quote]

Op here, thank you for coming to my defense on this.

I only mentioned her age and sex, so you would know the categories that she files her complaints under. Those two and hostile work environment, because apparently asking her to come to work [i]and[/i] do her work create a hostile work environment for her. Her age and sex are not an issue for me, as I have managed numerous highly competent women over 50 for years. I just feel like she uses the two categories that she falls under as get out of jail free cards. My hands are tied. Things have gotten so petty that I feel like if she sneezes and I don't say "god bless you" I will be accused of creating a hostile work environment. [/quote]
