[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have had discussions from day 1 about how things needed to change. His performance reviews going back 10 years said the same things needed to change. The company paid for an executive coach for him to try to fix the same issues to no avail. I have no question that it’s the right decision. I just feel bad about it. [/quote]

I guess I’m wondering why no one cut him loose before if that’s the case.  [/quote]

IF the employee has good evaluations from prior years and they are older than the rest of the team, a sudden change in evaluations followed by termination looks a lot like age discrimination [/quote]

OP said the same issues have showed up for 10 years on his reviews, so this is not the case. [/quote]
 
In that case, the issues have been documented for 10 years and acceptable and now they are being fired? [/quote]

Yes, this is strange.  If I were OP i'd be wary of this.  I was put in a position to "clean up" an org that had problems like that, and once that was done and it was how they wanted it, I was let go--largely because of the backlash of having to fix things.  Nice.[/quote]

Ditto. [/quote]

Yep, I was being pressured to do this too OP. Fortunately, I was able to leave before I had to actually proceed with the firing. Management was going to make me fire and also hold me accountable for the firing.

I would confide in the employee and let them know management has it out for him and they want to pin it on you. [/quote]
