For this discussion topic, you will consider both sides of the debate discussed in the articles posted under the link “Progressive Discipline: Arguments Against” (posted in the Performance Management & Appraisal module). In this article, legal consultant Jathan Janove argues that progressive discipline policies, which are intended to address employees’ poor performance, create more problems than they solve or prevent.
Your task is to:
Read the articles (there are 2 in the link), along with the summary paragraphs preceding the articles.
Evaluate both Jathan Janove’s arguments against progressive discipline & potential objections to his arguments. In doing so, you are encouraged to rely on any personal experience with progressive discipline you have had, or the experiences that others (e.g., family or friends) have had with progressive discipline.
After considering arguments in favor & against Janove’s position that progressive discipline should be “fired” (rejected & replaced with another policy), come to a conclusion about Janove’s position. You may strongly support Janove’s position, strongly oppose Janove’s position, or support a more nuanced position (e.g., that progressive discipline is useful or necessary in some employment settings but is counterproductive in others). If you support the nuanced position, you should list & discuss the conditions under which progressive discipline is useful/necessary versus not useful/necessary.
You are encouraged to respond to other students’ opinions (e.g., by expressing agreement or disagreement), along with reasons for your opinions.
The maximum score on this assignment is 100. I will evaluate your responses on the basis of:
(a) how systematic & thorough your analysis of Janove’s arguments & evidence is;
(b) your use of relevant experience (first- or second-hand) in your arguments;
(c) the extent to which your overall conclusion follows from your analysis & arguments;
(d) whether you respond to other students’ opinions, & the quality of your responses.
To score in the 90-100 range requires a thorough & systematic analysis of both sides of the issue, with well-supported conclusions & relevant & responsive replies to other students.
