It's strange then that when staff respond well, they're often loaded with more onerous and difficult work. This can be seriously demotivating.What's Performance Punishing? Performance punishing occurs when the employee who performs very well is rewarded with more demanding work.Because they do such a good job, managers load them with more and more work.
