I have an employee who I have been performance managing without an actual pip in place—working through things with legal. The employee is very argumentative and doesn’t take coaching well. She has now put in an investigation of unfair treatment. I have 25 pages documenting our last 3 months with all the coaching I have given and direct conversations from slack. Even with all this I am still stressed. Anyone have situations like this in the past? Feeling like this is an unfair accusation.

That's awful. But it sounds like you've already done the smart thing by making sure it's all documented. Just make sure you have your own copies of the documentation should you need it. I suppose it's just a matter of time as things play out. So it's stressful, but if you know you're in the right and you've acted in good faith, don't let negative feelings prey upon you.

Why haven't you fired her yet? Three months of coaching and no improvement = termination, in my book.

By the way, "unfair" does not equal "illegal discrimination." Too many employees (and far too many HR "professionals") think it does.

Sorry not sorry but your company is run by spineless cowards. Their performance is lower than everyone else's but they won't term them because they're "of a protected class"?? EVERYONE is of ALL the protected classes, for one thing. "Minority" is not a protected class, RACE is, and we're all of some race.

I'm as left-wing liberal as one can be without being a full-on Socialist (which virtually no liberal is anyway, but we get painted that way by imbeciles), and it really fries me that companies are too chicken s**T to fire poor performers because they're "in a protected class." It demoralizes the good workers, and gives fuel to the racist nonsense that all minority people are successful just because of DEI.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated.

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Hi community, humbly seeking professional HR advice. I recently joined my company’s HR team. In an informal conversation, a senior HRBP, considered a peer, called 2 of our fellow HR colleagues “worthless.” I should have rebuked her then & there but was so caught off guard. This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
