I've read on this forum about mobbing in the workforce and even in academia.
Do you think it is ever okay to mob an individual for mediocrity or below average work or for making mistakes? Mob means to (gang up through aggression tactics to get somebody to leave the workplace or education environment) http://www.concurringopinions.com/ar...g_in_acad.html (broken link)
I personally believe in performance management, appraisals, training, warnings, simple firings, or instruction. Mobbing just sounds so unprofessional and psycho. If you don't like somebody at all then why not just let them go instead of letting the problem linger and fester?
No. If someone isn't doing their job appropriately it should be communicated by devising a Performance Improvement Plan. If the individual doesn't live up to the agreed performance expectations they should then be terminated. No need to play games; this gives the employer the opportunity to also makes sure they are really communicating their expectations and needs effectively so they don't lose somebody who maybe could do a job that meets their expectations if worked with, versus spending the time and money to search again.
