Opinion

Tolerating is condoning

It’s not easy to reprimand an employee, but above all it is never pleasant. Generally, we prefer congratulations to remonstrations. But beware; tolerating behaviour at work that is not professional or does not comply with office rules or even unsatisfactory work (and accepting it in the meanwhile) is ultimately condoning it. And at the same time, in the eyes of the employee in question and his co-workers, it’s legitimizing a situation that should not be legitimized. In time, the problem that will arise is the erosion of the manager’s credibility and the insidious introduction of a sense of injustice, particularly demotivating for employees who do comply with requirements.
