Time to judge the capitalist pig

[kerosene]

Here's an idea:

1. Write up a list of policies you think slant out of her favor, for example, "In an effort to focus on our business goals, Jimbob Company expects all employees to spend no more than 30 minutes on personal telephone calls and make no more than 3 personal email correspondences each day with a possible exception of emergencies. Neglecting this policy is grounds for disciplinary action and may result in termination."

2. Try to come up with policies that are easy to prove were broken.

3. Print a copy for you and for her and ask her to sign both. It will have to be a condition of continued employment, or you have insubordination.

4. Watch her like a hawk. Write her up for everything. Make her become the problem that she is, instead of the other way around. IMHO you have done everything you can to keep her, but she insists that she deserves better. If she really feels that way, knock her down a few pegs. She will realize that some of the things she is doing are getting on your nerves and won't be tolerated anymore.

I would have killed for a job like that when I was looking. Even just admin work would have been nice for a small corporation and a decent boss.
