[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here I think this post has taken a different tune. I am not upset about how I am much I am paying her to work. I am upset about how she handled the situation. If she had come to me and said, " I really need a little but more money to pay me bills. Can we please work something out? " I would not even blink and eye. I would have paid her because I do think she is doing a good job and it is not a lot of money in the long run. 
I am just taken back by her ultimatium. I am planning on talking to her about it directly. But, I was just wondering how others would handle it. I would like her to be happy, but at the same time I don't want to be a push over.[/quote]

MB here who leads a large team of people at her job.  I am yet to see a perfect employee.  I mean a person who is always happy and enthusiasitic, never late on anything, always two steps ahead of me, etc.   And I can sincerely say that the folks on my team are great.  They are humans however.  Once in a while almost everyone might have an attitude.  A person could be stressed out, tired, had a bad day, whatever...  Personally, I would think twice before letting go of someone who is doing a great job and has shown an attitude once.  Great people are hard to find.    Perhaps, it makes sense to talk to her and see if the situation can still be worked out?[/quote]
Agree. Does she have time for an English course, OP?[/quote]
