One of my employees has been struggling with productivity for a couple of months. I’ve made adjustments and talked to him twice, but nothing has changed. He also hinted that he’s dealing with issues at home and in his marriage. I know his wife hasn’t been able to work due to health reasons, and they were relying on two incomes.</p> <p>Now I have a hard choice. If I fire him, I take away his income during a tough time. If I keep him, the whole team suffers.</p> <p>It feels like a Stoic dilemma—do I choose kindness and risk hurting the team, or do I make the tough call and risk harming him? Am I being too soft, or is patience the right move?</p> <p>Has anyone been in a similar situation? What would you do?</p></blockquote><br> Cancel F.A.Q About The Forum How To Create an account Change Your Nickname on the Forum How to change your profile picture
