If you confront someone who is deliberately not doing their job correctly and it is their fault, the fear of losing your job is greater than all in my opinion.

If you confront someone who is deliberately not doing their job correctly and it is their fault, the fear of losing your job is greater than all in my opinion. If you're knowingly slacking off, maybe fear is what you need.
I don't agree that fear is an excellent motivator in all situations, but in some situations it is warranted. It is no different than receiving a legal letter asking for payment because it is 2 months overdue. The legal letter is a fearful reminder you need to pay and it's sad that some situations call for fear tactics, but sometimes you need to understand it is how things go.

- RollAHardSix 13y agoThe problem is in the workplace environment, where one's own personal liability and livelihood is at stake, fear will only serve as a reason to find a new position. Personally if I was involved in any type of one on one like you mentioned, I would go home and start putting out resume's that day. You just can't take the chance of being fired later on, plenty of companies will use the 'you're not performing' bit to motivate employees to work themselves far beyond what they should be working even on a regular schedule.
