One of the first things that I learned in management school was how to get rid of an employee with out firing them.
1. Assign them menial tasks and when they're thru discard whatever they did in front of them and give them another menial task. Repeat as necessary.
2. If possible give them irregular hours of work.
3. Move them around to different work stations repeatedly.
4. Be unsupportive.
One of these or a combination will most assuredly cause them to quit.
Everyone in management can't be the good guy.
this, most assuredly, accounts for most of the workplace shootings.
use at your own risk.
i think being upfront and honest with someone is much better than this tack.
