There is an interesting phenomenon (or shall I say disease) floating around the office lately and it's called the knee-jerk reaction. Something happens that management thinks is catastrophic and could end our very existence (can you hear the circa 1950's horror movie music because I can), when in reality, it isn't something that a good scouring of Monster.com couldn't solve, and they react. . . immediately. Without fail, this produces a crappy decision and therefore crappy outcome that will inevitably piss everyone off.
Good work. Way to make out working environment even less appealing by adding another bad decision to the roster. Word of advice? Maybe let the dust settle after these little events before decisions are made? Just a thought. But what do I know. . .

Amen! Let me add my two cents: When you hear from more than one person that one of your employees is not quite up to par, don't ignore those concerns and continue considering promoting that person.
Those employees work with him/her EVERY DAY and would probably have a better idea of how things are going than you do.
