- 14How to survive a performance improvement planA performance improvement plan based on subjective soft-skill feedback is often used as a paper trail for termination rather than genuine coaching, leaving employees vulnerable even when they try to meet goals. Surviving it frequently requires immense emotional toll and top performance, yet even successfully beating the plan can permanently damage career growth and promotional trust at the company.
- 6Getting disciplined at work for missing billable hours targetsMissing annual charge hour goals can trigger formal performance management issues, leaving employees worried about getting fired. Falling behind on timesheets and having difficult conversations with department heads only adds to the pressure.
- 4How do you handle a terrible hire when you can't fire them?Strict labor laws make it nearly impossible to fire underperforming or unskilled staff, forcing managers to absorb their workload or babysit basic tasks. This leaves supervisors overwhelmed, burning through money on wasted labor and ruined materials while trying to do two jobs at once.
