Yes, No, Stay, Go

Here's a concept. If you don't want someone, boot them out the door. Leave a fine reminder in terms of a footprint deeply imprinted on their behinds. This will humiliate them and utterly destroy any goodwill you may have with them. BUT the good thing is, you will have saved the company many days of potentially wasted salary on this useless individual. Thereafter, should you actually find that you might need it as an after effect, you can always bring them back in, offer them a second chance to return to the O3 environment. Make it their fault for leaving in the first place and place your generosity as the reason why they are offered this precious second chance.

On the other hand....should the someone voluntarily want to leave in the first place, look displeased and reject this ridiculous idea. Make him stay longer than he want to by pricking his conscience that there's no one to take over his job duties. This is likely to cause this individual to stay back at least twice his notice period.

Viola! New HR tactics to save money and reduce the need to find new staff.
