1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,047
I was really close to firing her,

2
00:00:02,060 --> 00:00:04,687
then I remembered what you said
about trying to help her succeed.

3
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:05,668
Did you document it?

4
00:00:05,681 --> 00:00:08,187
Yup, brief and specific,
and I focused on behavior.

5
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:08,984
Good.

6
00:00:08,997 --> 00:00:12,113
Then I suggest you write her a memo
confirming your follow-up plan.

7
00:00:12,126 --> 00:00:15,095
That way they both have
documentation on her counseling.

8
00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:16,445
What about Jack?

9
00:00:16,458 --> 00:00:20,066
Jack comes in late, hasn't
delivered the report I needed last week,

10
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,202
doesn't seem to care.

11
00:00:21,215 --> 00:00:23,192
I think it's time I did
more than just talk.

12
00:00:23,205 --> 00:00:24,049
Okay.

13
00:00:24,062 --> 00:00:27,435
The first action in progressive
discipline is an oral warning.

14
00:00:27,448 --> 00:00:29,413
How's that different than an incident memo?

15
00:00:29,518 --> 00:00:31,786
Well first, you tell the
employee it's an oral warning,

16
00:00:31,799 --> 00:00:33,583
and that if he doesn't meet the objectives,

17
00:00:33,596 --> 00:00:36,257
he'll be subject to further
discipline, including termination.

18
00:00:36,466 --> 00:00:40,026
Then, you follow that up with
a written memo using FOSA.

19
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,302
You wanted to see me?

20
00:00:42,315 --> 00:00:43,476
Jack, where have you been?

21
00:00:43,784 --> 00:00:46,382
Well I was at the library... working.

22
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,052
Jack we've discussed this before.

23
00:00:48,065 --> 00:00:49,932
Now, if you're going to be
late or out of the office,

24
00:00:49,945 --> 00:00:51,374
you're gonna have to clear this with me.

25
00:00:51,690 --> 00:00:53,443
I was doing off-site research.

26
00:00:53,456 --> 00:00:54,878
Which I did't authorize.

27
00:00:55,093 --> 00:00:56,725
Jack this is an oral warning.

28
00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:59,412
Did you know that your chronic
lateness has cost our department

29
00:00:59,425 --> 00:01:02,182
over 50 hours in
productivity for this month alone?

30
00:01:02,448 --> 00:01:05,943
Now I've suggested that you find
another way to work instead of the carpool,

31
00:01:05,956 --> 00:01:07,719
and I've offered Dave as a resource.

32
00:01:07,732 --> 00:01:09,557
Dave's busy doing his own stuff.

33
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,377
Jack, you must report to work by 9 AM

34
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:14,573
and must have the reports in
by the due date.

35
00:01:14,768 --> 00:01:16,854
Working off-site requires my approval.

36
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,067
Now, if you're late again, or you
don't have your reports in on time

37
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,437
you will be subject to further
discipline which could include termination.

38
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:24,604
Is this clear?

39
00:01:24,931 --> 00:01:25,480
Yeah.

40
00:01:26,129 --> 00:01:27,651
Fine, I'll see you later.

41
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:40,738
Okay. Memo to Jack regarding oral warning.

42
00:01:41,293 --> 00:01:43,130
You were late for work yet again.

43
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,676
During the past month
you've been late five times.

44
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:49,815
You didn't get approval to work off-site.
