It all started innocently enough. Angie Agent was having problems on the job (tardiness, excessive absences, performance, personality issues, etc.). You, the conscientious Supervisor and fair-minded person, gave the employee a warning. Things did not improve. Angie actually developed an "attitude," and the conduct continued. Another warning. Nothing. Tired of the problems, you terminated Angie. You conducted the termination exactly as counsel advised and diligently documented everything...Sound familiar?

- I love my job.
- I love my job.
- I love my job. >>more
