Got a really unpleasant task this afternoon..

I have to give someone notice as they have not fulfilled their role satisfactorily during their probationary period.

I've got all the procedures etc sorted but it's just how to handle the 'talk' that's worrying me. I've never had to do this before and I really like the person but they really are incompetent and unsuited to the post, despite extensive training and help etc.

Any advice gratefully received.

Gosh I would hope he's not expecting a glowing reference after today's behaviour.

Well done for handling it so well

Well done you glad it went ok, honestly they do get better/easier with each one you do.

didn't want to work his notice period or anything - did he have to work it then? We never made anyone just get 'um out the building.
