Todays' s Workspace

In this article I turn to some situations where supervisors have failed to manage poor work performance, so that readers see how this can arise.

In one work unit some women got pregnant around the same time.  With time, their performance started to decline due to health issues triggered by pregnancy.  Supervision never took issue with the decline, as they had noticed the women's condition.  Quite unexpectedly, management terminated their employment, with notice, for poor work performance.  Apparently, employees who were not pregnant, but had not always reached the target were not dismissed.
