Administrator Chandler <br />noted that the 1991 evaluation mentioned an occasional attitude <br />problem and a short temper. He felt that the comment about the <br />attitude problem was significant, particularly in light of what <br />transpired in 1992. <br />Commissioner Bird conveyed that it wasn't a question of Mr. <br />Forbes' ability and skills, it was his attitude and insubordination <br />that could not be tolerated and resulted in his termination. <br />Commissioner Macht stressed that he was speaking from <br />experience that supervisor's write-ups and annual performance <br />appraisals that go in two different directions can cause a lot of <br />problems when an employee appeals a dismissal.

Most of these <br />disciplinary actions were after the glowing performance appraisals. <br />Commissioner Adams asked Mr. Forbes if his main problem was a <br />personality conflict with Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Forbes replied that <br />he was not saying there was a personality conflict, but the <br />supervisor had not brought to his attention that he had an attitude <br />problem. <br />Commissioner Adams commented that according to the write-ups <br />it was brought to Mr. Forbes' attention a number of times. If this <br />was a private business, he would have been long gone. An employee <br />should follow the schedule set by the employer and not work at his <br />convenience. she added that she thought they kept him a lot longer <br />than they should have kept him. <br />Commissioner Macht agreed and added that throughout the years <br />Mr. Forbes was given many opportunities to improve his attitude and <br />behavior. <br />Golf Course Director Bob Komarinetz related that he personally <br />talked to Mr. Forbes a number of times about his attitude problem <br />4 <br />
