Work Related Problem
Brief Background
Employee's performance: Employee known as Jane had a past romantic relationship with the owner of a small company. The owner broke-up with this employee just recently, however, Jane agreed to keep her position with the company provided she will perform her duties and responsibilities in accordance to company's expectations. In addition, she will have to demonstrate her ability to work well with others in a professional manner. The office manager explained to Jane that her performance will be evaluated after a month and also made her understand in the event she failed to perform her job responsibilities, the company will have to let her go. Jane threatens to sue the company for sexual harassment if she will be let go from her job. In framing this issue: It is very clear the manager lacked the skills and ability to hire a qualified employee.

One essential qualification is the ability to work well with others and attitude is another important qualification.
