Scenario: We continue with the Smart Solutions Associates
scenario.
Matthew is in web development. He has worked for you for two
years. He has been a strong performer, with excellent web
development skills, creativity, and work ethic. However, his
performance has slipped significantly in the last few weeks. He was
late with two deadlines for client deliverables. He seems drowsy
after lunch and doesn’t act as friendly as usual to co-workers.
Toni, one of Matthew's teammates, came to you this afternoon
to tell you that she thought she smelled alcohol on his breath
after lunch.
Note: Smart Solutions has a policy of no drinking during working
hours and coming to work intoxicated is not acceptable.
As Matthew’s manager, what would you do? Is a Progressive
Discipline Approach appropriate here? (Consider both issues of his
possible drinking issue and the level of his recent
performance.)
