Why does a company need to demote an employee?

[Niyi Briggs]

I do not think a person is willing to be humiliated. Well, jobs are scarce but can one continue to work for a company that humiliates him? Maybe a better approach would be reducing his pay scale and not making the news public.

Not making it public probably is a sound course that could be pursued. But making it public has an effect of deterring the other staff to be on their b best behavior.

It is perfectly not out of place to demote an employee. There are always punishments for erring and demotions could be one of such punishments. A staff that fought and seriously wounded a junior Staff in the organization was demoted to become a very junior Staff and I hope he learned from it.

In my view, there is nothing wrong if a company demoted an employee. One thing is for sure, he or she cannot carried out his or her job responsibilities. A company is not a fool to pay a person who cannot their jobs right. I had observed that these people are the products of nepotism. It is an old practice that needs to be stopped.

Well , I see no reason to remote an employee in the first place without any reason, but if there are reasons to it maybe such person carry out his job well which he has been doing before ,then there is need to call such person to order or offer training

On the contrary, there have been many cases of people getting fired from the job. In the end, those people ended up working a really low-paying job in the end. This could be a big shock to many. However, this is a reality.

And such an employee would gi to start building it again afresh whereas there is a higher chanve of rising up quickly if it was a demotion from your previous organization. Punitive measures are part of the things done to instill discipline in the workplace.

That is right and the appropriate course of action. The company should consider demoting employees if they do not meet job expectations. Other employees may be better suited for the role.

 

[Starmix]

it seldom happens here companies demoting an employee, if the employee commits an administrate case, he or she will be fired.

 

[Hate2Wait]

There are times when the company management needs to set an example for other employees and they do demote employees so others may not commit mistakes like that

 

[King Belieal]

A company demoting an employee could be as a result if disciplinary measures. And most times,. they always restore the employee if he or she shows humility and willingness to stay in line.

Basically all companies need work and performance, if they get result even in reasonable level then they don't touch their employees. On the other hand if someone continuously showing decline in his performance then company has right to even fire that employee.

Most companies use this as a strategy for punishment on misbehaving members of staffs for that matter.

 

[Ratine]

It serves as a sense of punishment for the gross on misconduct for the particular member of the staff.

 

[King Belieal]

There are several misconducts that one can engage in and they are demoted. One of such is misconducts related to defrauding the company.

Where I work, when you fight a fellow staff, you are immediately demoted to a lower position in the company.
