The 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.
