Next Step: Get rid of your difficult employee once and for all

The passive insubordinate will consistently misunderstand directions. Under these scenarios, the supervisor eventually has to lay off the worker. o Doesn't respect the opinions of team members.

You should decide a course of action for the "hardest" part of your job - separating an employee. You can do this through progressive discipline, which will assist you upgrade the jobholder's performance if this is at all possible. This will normally make a legal action or a threat of one disappear immediately. Not only is this troubling, but fact that you need to layoff employees for the most part indicates that the small business is not performing up to expectations. This will aid you, and any other manager you hire, protect both your rights as an employer and your worker's rights as an employee. The boss should never dismiss a worker on a whim or out of resentment. When developing your terminating disabled worker polices, it should be similar to those you follow for dimissing your other employees. For the most part this worker thinks she has an "in" with your supervisor, and your supervisor will stop this termination as soon as he hears about it.
