The Problem 問(wèn)題

　　I have a problem with my HR director， who I inherited from my predecessor. She is lazy and incompetent， has alienated her team， and her （talented） number two has just quit. She takes a huge amount of sick leave， claiming the job is "stressful". I need to get rid of her but she knows all the rules and has a litigious frame of mind. She is from an ethnic minority and， although born to middle-class Indian parents， seems to believe life has discriminated against her. She views me， a white male， as a personal affront. What do I do？

　　我與前任留給我的人力資源主管之間存在著一些問(wèn)題。她既懶惰又無(wú)能，還使自己的團(tuán)隊(duì)彼此疏遠(yuǎn)，她那位（有才華的）副手剛剛辭職。她請(qǐng)了大量病假，聲稱(chēng)自己的工作"壓力很大".我得把她炒掉，但她了解所有相關(guān)規(guī)則，并且頗有打官司的雅興。她是一位少數(shù)族裔，盡管出生在印度裔中產(chǎn)階級(jí)家庭，但似乎認(rèn)為自己在生活中受到了歧視。她將我的白種男性身份視為對(duì)她個(gè)人的一種冒犯。我該怎么辦？

　　You must decide if you want to spend management time sorting this out or whether to lavish money on it instead.

　　你必須決定：是想花些工作時(shí)間來(lái)解決此事呢，還是想出錢(qián)做個(gè)了斷。

　　In the first case， you need to manage her downfall actively， setting clear performance targets and monitoring her failure to meet them. Then， when you finally fire her， she won't be able to claim unfair dismissal.

　　在前一種情況下，你需要積極管理她的問(wèn)題，為她制定明確的績(jī)效目標(biāo)，跟蹤她未能達(dá)到這些目標(biāo)的'情況。這樣，當(dāng)你最終辭退她的時(shí)候，她就無(wú)法聲稱(chēng)自己被解雇是不公平的。

　　There are three problems with this approach： you will have to put up with her laziness and incompetence for quite a while longer； it will eat up a lot of your time； and - worst - she might well end up suing you anyway on discrimination grounds.

　　采取這種方式會(huì)帶來(lái)三個(gè)問(wèn)題：你將不得不在相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)忍受她的懶惰和無(wú)能；這會(huì)耗費(fèi)你不少時(shí)間；而最糟糕的是，很可能不管怎樣，她最終還會(huì)以歧視為由起訴你。

　　If you are in the UK， the law makes the employer guilty until proven innocent： the onus is on you to prove that you did not discriminate against her. This can be quite tricky， especially if most of your senior people are white males and if you have not insisted on everyone attending diversity awareness courses.

　　如果你是在英國(guó)，那么法律會(huì)在雇主證明自己無(wú)辜之前認(rèn)定其有罪：你有責(zé)任證明自己并沒(méi)有歧視她。這可能相當(dāng)困難，尤其是在你手下多數(shù)高級(jí)雇員都是白種男性以及你沒(méi)有堅(jiān)持讓每個(gè)人都去參加多元化培訓(xùn)教程的情況下。

　　You can risk it， but you need to think not just of the cost but of how bad the newspaper headlines might look.

　　你可以冒險(xiǎn)試試，但你要考慮的不僅僅是如此解決此事的成本，還有媒體對(duì)此的相關(guān)報(bào)道會(huì)有多么糟糕。

　　If I were you I would deal with the problem quietly by throwing money at it now. It does not sound as if she is enjoying the job much at present. It is either making her ill or making her skive， neither of which are good. Her new boss is unsympathetic and possibly sexist and racist and seems to have it in for her. Her team is awful and her number two has just quit.

　　如果我是你，我會(huì)立刻花錢(qián)來(lái)悄悄地搞定這個(gè)問(wèn)題。聽(tīng)上去她目前似乎不太喜歡這份工作。無(wú)論她因此患病，還是因此受到折磨，這兩種情況都不太好。她的新老板缺乏同情心，可能帶有性別歧視和種族歧視，還總跟她過(guò)不去。她的團(tuán)隊(duì)糟透了，而副手又剛剛辭職。

　　Call a meeting with her and offer her a fortune to go.If for some bizarre reason she turns this down there is always the special projects option. Pay her to do a hugely grand-sounding yet utterly peripheral job where she has no one reporting to her. And then tempt the brilliant number two back into the number one slot.

　　打個(gè)電話約她面談，給她一大筆錢(qián)讓她走人。即使她出于某種異乎尋常的原因拒絕辭職，你也總能夠利用一些特殊安排讓她走人。出錢(qián)讓她去做一個(gè)名頭響亮但完全外圍的工作，不給她配備任何下屬。然后，把她那位才華橫溢的副手召回公司，填補(bǔ)她的位置。
