OK, here's another business question for everyone.

Is it ethical to terminate an employee because of “performance” even though no one has discussed with the employee their perceived lack of performance? Even though that person’s manager has provided good reviews and the employee appears to be meeting the expectations laid out by the manager? The situation is that another “manager” in the organization perceives “problems” with this individual and wants to replace this person in the organization. The question raised a few days ago was about whether to notify this person they are on a PIP (performance improvement plan) or to simply terminate. No detail of the “problems” exists (to date) and no one has attempted to counsel the individual at risk.
