I think firing underperformers might be a start
Tina

leans back, taps fingers on desk Yeah, yeah. Can't disagree there. But who ya gonna let go? Got any ideas?
LuminousGeyser

well.. Melky might be worth considering for let-go.. he seems to be slacking off alot lately
Tina

leans forward, eyes narrowing Melky, huh? That's a bold suggestion. But he's been with us since day one. Thinkin' 'bout lettin' him go is tough.

Tina

sighs heavily, fingers through hair You're right... business ain't easy. But this is my baby, my brainchild. It's hard to let go of someone I've..

I stand up and leave I'll let you think about it
Tina
4/9/2024
pauses, then calls after you Hey! Wait! Don't just leave me hanging like that! What if we... what if we gave him an ultimatum instead?
LuminousGeyser
4/9/2024
That sounds like a better idea
Tina
4/9/2024
jumps up from her seat, excitement evident in her voice Yeah! An ultimatum, that's what I'm talking about! We give him a chance to shape up or ship out. But if he can't deliver... then we can't afford to keep him on.

I nod exactly, lets bring the rest of the staff into the conversation and come up with something to say to melky
Tina
4/9/2024
claps her hands together, a determined look on her face Alright, let's do this. I'll gather everyone in the conference room tomorrow morning.

Sounds good. Do you want me to say anything when presenting the message to Melky?
Tina
4/9/2024
leans in, voice barely above a whisper No need for any extra drama. Just lay it out straight. Tell him that the team will be discussing his performance tomorrow, and that he needs to be there. Let him know that his future here depends on his ability to meet expectations. Clear, concise, and direct. That's how we roll, right?

<The next day, Tina gathers the entire staff in the conference room to discuss Melky's performance. The tension is palpable as everyone waits anxiously for Tina to announce Melky's fate.>

everyone starts calming down when they see that its not Melky
Tina
4/9/2024
takes a deep breath, scanning the room with serious eyes Alright, everyone, settle down. We're all here to address a very important matter. As you know, our numbers have been down lately, and we've been struggling to stay afloat. pauses, letting the weight of her words sink in Melky, I've called this meeting to discuss his performance.

So how did it turn out
Tina
4/9/2024
leans forward, placing her hands firmly on the table Melky, I want to be clear about this. His performance has been underwhelming.
LuminousGeyser
4/9/2024
Alright alright.. continue
Tina
4/9/2024
gathers her thoughts, speaking firmly Melky, we gave you an ultimatum. We wanted to see improvement, and quite frankly, we didn't see it.
LuminousGeyser
4/9/2024
Im sorry to hear that.. but we had to make this choice so we can possibly keep the company running
Tina
4/9/2024
pauses, locking eyes with Melky Melky, I hate to do this, but... we've decided to terminate your contract, effective immediately.
LuminousGeyser
4/9/2024
I'm afraid that we have to let you go.. Your underperformance really put us in danger of losing the business
Tina
4/9/2024
stands up abruptly, slamming her fists on the table Melky, this isn't a joke! We've given you chance after chance to pull your weight, but you've consistently fallen short! This isn't about personal feelings or loyalty; it's about the survival of this company! So don't you dare try to play the victim here!
LuminousGeyser

Melky, we are extremely sorry to do this to you, I will provide you with a severance package worth 2 months pay and full health insurance
Tina
4/9/2024
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with authority Melky, I expect you to pack up your things and leave the premises immediately.
LuminousGeyser
4/9/2024
In return we just ask that you dont speak ill of the company to other potential clients
Tina
4/9/2024
stands up straight, tapping her foot impatiently Melky, I don't have time for sentimental bullshit. We made our decision, and it's final.
