456How To Handle Bitter Employees
One employee's negative attitude is highly contagious and can seriously damage the morale of an entire work team. What's worse, managers who coddle these individuals send a powerful message to the rest of the team, "It's OK to be cynical and even disrespectful as long as you do your job." These are the same managers who lose the respect of the employees who are doing a great job AND have a positive attitude toward the company.
Every employee within an organization must be held accountable for his or her behavior. It is unprofessional for any member of the staff to exhibit behavior that is verbally disruptive or destructive to other members of the team. Anger and hostility are forms of manipulation. These are unacceptable workplace behaviors and should not be tolerated in any employee at any level.
Here's what you can do if your constructive feedback and warnings have failed. Be sure you discuss this plan with your Human Resources director, and you have his or her support before you:
- Tell the offending employees that you are giving them a "gift" of a paid Friday off. However, they must use this day to carefully think about whether or not they would like to continue working at this company. Tell them that their cynicism is unprofessional and will no longer be tolerated, but because you respect their work, you will give them an opportunity to turn their attitudes around.
- Give them two options:
- If they choose to continue their employment, they need to come to work on Monday morning with a typed contract outlining the specific steps they will take to turn their attitude around to become positive team players.
- If they choose not to take ownership of their attitude, then they can either turn in a letter of resignation or be terminated.
- If they choose to continue their employment, they need to come to work on Monday morning with a typed contract outlining the specific steps they will take to turn their attitude around to become positive team players.
