I am an inexperienced/new (less than a month) manager of a small group of workers. Administration seems to be targeting one of my employees. They have made statements to me about her not "grasping things." Her reviews have been stellar and she has been there for over six years. I believe that there is some animosity towards her (she is the only one of her race). This morning, HR confronted her for something that everyone else is doing (even HR!!!). I have no issues with her work ethic or personality. During my interview, it was stated that I would have to "let someone go" (sic) which was later retracted. How do I get to the root of the problem? Should I ask Administration exactly what they want me to do with her?

Hmmm, I would maybe just be up front and honest about it and ask them what they suggest and once you've listened to their side of view, maybe you can throw in your two cents and come up with the best solution. Avoid blaming though...like avoid telling the administration that it's flat out racist, but use facts to back up your thoughts on this girl. Good Luck.

I would ask HR for a copy of her job description. Find out exactly what her job is, and then assess whether you believe she is doing the job and how well. If you feel that her performance is up to par, then stick by her. You seem to be the only one there that's looking out for her best interests.
