I'm fairly happy with my employees' performance, i.e. the group as a whole. We have three, and they are pretty good, but I really do wonder if they are good enough. But that's another issue. This one employee in question, she is the newest one, and at first she was dynamite, but now she is not pulling her weight.

If her web browsing starts affecting her job and completing tasks in the requested time, well that is a whole different story.

That's just it. She takes 8 hours to do 4 hours of work. The other employees are pissed because they have to do more. It's a real mess. I should have, uh, stated this at the beginning. Her fortunes are starting to look more bleak as I type this, I think.


Having a talk with her is an excellent idea. Communication goes a long way. If you do not want to come off as to harsh or afraid of killing her morale (if you plan on keeping her) maybe you can meet her half way and suggest to her that you are changing employee policies on non-company related internet access/websites to break and lunch time only. That is more than fair IMO. If things do not work out, I am sure you can find somebody quickly to fill the position.

Good luck,
