Bob Smith is not doing well in his job. The problems began to appear shortly after Bob’s job changed from a manual to computer-based operation. He has tried hard but is just not doing well in learning how to use the computer to meet performance expectations. He is 55 years old and has been with the company for 18 years. Bob has been a great worker in the past and is both popular and influential among his peers. Along with his performance-problems, you have also noticed that Bob is starting to sometimes “badmouth” the firm. As Bob’s manager, what options would you consider in terms of dealing with the issue of his retention in the job and in the company? What could you do by way of career development for Bob, and why?
