re: Older Employee's Memory is becoming an issue in the office

I work in an office in a government-type setting and am going through KIND OF a similar instance.

All I can tell you now is document, document, document. Idk where you work but in my field, we can't just go to someone and fire them, as HR would ask what we did to try to help. Sit down with her and explain some of these issues and put some sort of system in place to correct it, and have her sign. Email her requests or things needing to be done. Eventually, you'll have enough documented evidence that you have attempted to help yet she is still not able to do her routine work tasks competently. Then fire her arse and get someone else who can. I wish we could fire our lady yesterday.
