Dh runs 2 small retail outlets, the manager in one is causing some problems.
Dh has said that he needs to be a bit more vibrant in projecting the business forward in the tough economic climate and has had had conversations with him before, re some lacklustre performance and miserable attitude that he often shows in the shop.
This appears to be continuing and causing other staff members to feel quite down.
There have been some instances where he has been asked to do things and hasn't wanted to so has 'sabotaged' the situation, but in such a way that you can't really discipline him.
Yesterday he asked if he could close 3 hours early as the place was quiet and they hadn't had a customer for a few hours, it turned out they had had a customer 20 minutes before. Trust me, there was plenty more work he could have got done, it's not a tiny corner shop or anything.
A very capable member of staff has said he is looking for other work as he feels he cannot work under this member of staff any more.
There are other examples too, it's like he's not doing enough to get fired but he's having a negative effect on business and we don't really know what to do?
