Darn. My assistant has worked for me for 2 years and I need to let her go. She has a lot of other projects on the side and she has become less and less focused and attentive to the work she does for me. Lately, she has started lecturing me about my shortcomings, as she perceives them, and this isn't going to work anymore. I turned over a major task to her back in November and she made enough newbie mistakes that reflected badly on me.
I've done a fair bit of firing in the past, and the first task is to change all passwords she has access to. That has taken some time, but I'm almost ready to break the news to her. I'm hoping it will come as a relief and give both of us a chance to take a deep breath and move forward.
Still, I'm not looking forward to it. She has a very strong personality and depending on her reaction, this could be unpleasant.
