[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, same thing happened to me (mid-30s) with an older AA woman. She was insubordinate, incompetent, and failed to do work for several months. By the end, most of my communication was documentation via email that she hadn't delivered assignments. It was a PITA. I gave her a negative performance review, with a performance improvement plan, which she said she wouldn't do, retired with two weeks' notice, and then tried to sue for age, sex, and race discrimination. Her entire argument was that she didn't like my tone when I had told her to leave my office (because she was wasting my time after three months of failing to bring assigned work to meetings). She lost, of course, but it was the biggest drain on my energy for MONTHS. This is a state agency, and I just kept wishing I was back at a non-profit where I could've told her to hit the road and had a replacement in a few weeks. [/quote]
