I've worked in large corporates and can tell you that plenty of managers have no idea how to deal with poor performers or any serious conflict actually. Fortunately they can often find an excuse to restructure and make poor performers redundant rather than go through the very stressful performance management process. Happens all the time.
Principals can't restructure like that.
And you won't hear it admitted, but some of those made redundant may be OK performance wise but if they have had one or two lots of stress leave they become a serious financial risk to the organisation under H&S.
