Hello, I am currently facing a challenge. I work in an IT firm as the HR Manager. The issue i'm having is one of the "senior" developers has been performing poorly for some time but the management had been making excuses for him and keeping him on board for sentimental reasons as he is one of the longest serving staff.
Recently we got a new Managing Director who feels his performance has been unsatisfactory over time due to complaints from the Project Manager and Line Manager.
The staff in question was given a warning letter about his unsatisfactory performance. Not only did he refuse to acknowledge the letter, he kept on arguing that his work is top notch and he was being witch hunted. The letter is currently with me as he did not sign it and my line manager (the Managing Director) has travelled out of the country. Please what should I do next?
**My company is a small company with a staff strenght of 22**
Thank you
