"What did you do last week?" ?? Elon Musk's DOGE Directive for federal employees might not be the ideal performance management approach. Relying on bullet points and threats alone won't likely work.

The #1 Rule of Firing Someone ?? If an employee is shocked they’re being fired… HR messed up. Jon Hyman, an employment law expert, says: "Don't fire someone without prior warning." If performance issues weren’t clearly communicated, you’re setting yourself up for drama—or worse, a lawsuit. Here’s how to get it right: ? Be direct—No mixed signals. ? Keep it short—10-15 minutes max. ? Stay professional—No emotion, no arguments. ? Have a witness—Protect yourself and the company. Terminations will never be fun, but they can be handled right. #EmployeeRelations #Termination #HRLeaders https://lnkd.in/d6gqB8Zt

Job Descriptions Might Be Lying ?? Job descriptions don’t tell the full story. We assume skills gaps exist because employees don’t perform as expected. But the truth? Most people are where they should be… ON PAPER! John Deal from Phenom explains: ?? Just because a skill is in the job description doesn’t mean employees actually use it. ?? Some roles require skills that aren’t even listed. In this episode of HRMorning's video series, The 3-Point, we give tips on how to really find your #SkillsGaps HR can stop guessing and start fixing.
