Dear Executor,
I need to give step by step reply to your post. You have written that:
a) I have a very short fuse for new joinees who think they can push the company around. Even if he/she is a good resource work wise; agreeing to this sets a bad precedent and soon you will have almost everyone doing the same.
The points raised are quite good and agreeable too.
If I was in your shoes, I would have not confirmed the person and recorded indiscipline / willful insubordination / not fitting with company culture in her personal file notings.
I feel that this is your overreach. All that employee has done is to exercise his/her right to decline to become confirmed employee. This is his/her fundamental right. This cannot be indiscipline or wilful insubordination. I am not against removing that person from the job. However, it can be done under the provisions of "disinclination to accept the terms of employment. Terms of employment is to offer Rs ____ salary. The employee in question is not ready to accept it. Declining employee's request for raise, he/she can be told to put in his/her papers. That ends the matter
I would have given her an extension of probation for one month and explained very clearly what the company wants from her. Failing correction from her side, she can then be terminated without notice.
I did not understand the logic of extension of probation period. Either employee accepts the confirmation or quits. Employee has to exercise either option without delay.
My comments: - Possibly the basic problem is that employee has understood the weakness in the system. With proven high-quality performance, he/she wants to use this performance as bargaining chip. This could be the cause of the brinkmanship.
For shah01ankita: - I am little surprised to note your appreciation for this post. Generally you see the posts with hawk's eye but how come this anomaly of "wilful insubordination" escaped from your attention?
Thanks,
Dinesh V Divekar
