Most managers come across underproductive or unhappy employees.....it is best not to ignor it, but to start with open communication first.
If you and the employee do decide to part ways there should be some planning.....Is there a person that could fill the position and provide easier management and highter performance. Can other employees cover the shortfall if an employee was to leave suddenly?
I have met managers who line up a replacement before suggesting that an employee might be better off working elsewhere, or going through a warning process. Ont he other hand, I have also met rather impulsive managers who act too quickly and as a result the company must pay compensation to the dismissed employee.
Unfortunately, there is no easy solution.....this is the business of managing people.
