Hello all,
I have a staff member who has been working for me for the last two years. He is also a good friend of mine as well.
Base on his performance and experience, I have paid him as much as I think is appropriate. However, he still believes the company is not paying him enough. I have conveyed my thought to him already however he has not changed his mind. He is also not happy with the culture and the operating procedures/processes. Being his first job, he wants to venture out to get the experience.
He is using “personal emergency” as an excuse to be missing from work for 2-3 hours for interview. Despite that he still made up the time but that put a negative perception of him by the team.
There are two situations that I could do:
1. Leave him be & not tell the CEO, with the acceptance of when the staff will leave. The staff can stay here until he can get the next job. I would be wasting my time to train him any futher.
2. Tell the CEO of the situation so I can recruit someone and get that person trained up to replace the staff. If the CEO knows then the staff will get sacked. However, I have more stable team.
Anyone has a opinion on this? Which one I should do?
