| Aug 9, 2017 at 16:57 | comment | added | David K | I just edited the question to hopefully bring it more in focus and rephrased the final question to be more on-topic. | |
| Aug 9, 2017 at 16:35 | comment | added | Old_Lamplighter | It shouldn't have been closed for that reason, but it was a bad question. | |
| Aug 9, 2017 at 14:18 | comment | added | Lilienthal Mod | Outright bad questions that are incorrectly marked as dupes should probably be reclosed as off-topic as I think the auto-cleanup won't delete duplicate questions. If this hadn't been on 2 reopen votes already I'd have probably removed the duplicate and reclosed it myself. | |
| Aug 9, 2017 at 14:16 | comment | added | Lilienthal Mod | Then the question should be "How can I convince HR / my manager to take action?" and that's not what it says right now. He's not asking "how do I keep the team going after 2 years of this", he wants firing advice and that's both a legal and managerial minefield in OP's situation. As for your second question, IIRC the SOP according to main meta is to not reopen and reclose questions just because the close reason is incorrect but I believe that is mainly about using the wrong off-topic close reason. Duplicates are different. | |
| Aug 9, 2017 at 13:34 | comment | added | David K | @Lilienthal I agree the question could certainly be improved, but I think the situation is still on-topic. Part of the problem is that HR and the manager aren't being helpful, so he needs to know how to at least not make things worse with no direction. In This Meta discussion the consensus was that if a question is on-topic but a duplicate, it should be reopened and then closed again. If a question is off-topic but not a duplicate, would the same logic apply? (I'm undecided on that last point, as it is slightly different.) | |
| Aug 9, 2017 at 13:16 | comment | added | Lilienthal Mod | I agree that this isn't a duplicate but do you think the question deserves being reopened? "This is a first for me so what steps should I be taking to ensure that if my subordinate is fired there are no repercussions?" is a question that is very difficult to answer even in a general fashion. The question is a giant wall of text and the only advice I think the OP needs is to ask HR and his own manager how to handle it. They're the ones telling him to proceed with care, they should be able to define what that means. | |
