Subject: One-Day Disciplinary Layoff--Misconduct
Date: March 12, 20XX
(Problem)
Yesterday, you behaved in a disrespectful and disruptive manner while I was attempting
to warn you regarding your unsatisfactory work performance. As I tried to talk with you,
you kept interrupting me and finally shouted, “----- it, I’m going to say what I want, you
can’t stop me from talking.” I cautioned you that you were being disrespectful and I
informed you of possible disciplinary consequences if you continued. I advised you to
cool down and you shouted, “I don’t have to, and you can’t make me.”
While standing in the hallway, you continued shouting, “I don’t have to take this. Get off
my back.” This behavior was disruptive to everyone in the area. People were stopping
in the hallway and began to gather to see what was causing the disturbance.
(Action)
(Expectation &
Consequence)
Jim, your disrespectful and disruptive conduct will not be tolerated. To impress on you
