You would certainly make that point. then let the other employee
leave and let the employee in question know that it will not be
tolerated in the future. Therefore saving the services of one of the
best employees (and with it money) and also said employee
knows /exactly/ where he stands for the future.
And if said employee had already pulled several "I'm resigning"
publicity stunts in the past? And if said employee had seen other
people trying the same thing unsuccessfully?
Then you deal with them at such a time as they appear, you do not let 2
employees go when everyone's integrity could have been kept with just
the one leaving - therein lies the skill in 'people skills'
I think you're missing a clear view of the facts here...
Incidentally, I'm unsure as to how your analogy applies here. You keep
mentioning 'best employee'. I'm not sure how that fits in.
If i remember, I said "one of" and also (if i remember correctly)
flameeyes happened to be head of two herds, a member of the council, had
more cia commits than any developer and was one of THE most respected
developers in the whole of Gentoo.
