Termination Nightmare

Here's a scenario you don't want to find yourself in:

You have an employee, we'll call her Janet.

Janet is not a very good worker, but she's well-liked by just about everyone. When she is terminated, her co-workers are naturally upset. Not only that, she sues the company for wrongful termination.

Her former manager had never dealt with a problematic employee and didn't grasp the importance of documenting Janet's shortcomings.

So now you have two big messes on your hands:

1. Address your compliance issues while you fight the lawsuit.
2. Deal with low morale while not revealing any confidentiality issues.

What should you do next?
