It's the manager that creates the overhead. You can't unload work for ten men on an employee who has the strength of only three and on top of that expect that person to manage his manager properly.
- mlyle 7y agoYou're missing the point. Sometimes managing a "problem" employee becomes a majority of a manager's work because of both increased oversight needed for that employee's work and because of troublesome interpersonal interactions created by that employee. In turn the useful things that the manager can do-- a good manager provides useful support to his subordinates and buffering of harmful organizational requests-- are reduced significantly. This makes the "problem" employee more expensive than his peers.

It also requires the disability be disclosed in order to be accommodated. If the manager knows the employee has autism, what it is, and some reasonable adjustments to his management technique based on that, everyone is more likely to be successful.
