In my case, it was technically banning someone because it was an online team. So to rewind, I've joined this dance team for 1.5 years. We communicate mainly through discord when we're not having in person team hangouts or dance practices. Over several months, I eventually climbed the ranks from a regular member to Treasurer and now President. Sounds like I'm ambitious but that's not the case. Both administrative positions basically fell into my lap because no one else wanted to do it. I mean, I do understand why: those positions sound intimidating, but it's really not that difficult. Usually.

So here I am, being the president. Everything has gone smoothly so far: dance practices are being held, everyone is being nice to each other online until quite recently, a dance practice ended sour.

Here's the thing about the nature of dance teams: it's normal for dance teams to not always work well together because we all think and act differently. 

However, when it's one person who can't work with multiple members on the team, you know it's not a team issue but a person issue. And that one person happened to be the new secretary that I suggested during election month because she was the only candidate who was willing to sign up! Sounds familiar, right? Well deep down, I knew this was a ticking time bomb.

You're probably wondering: well why wasn't she kicked out before she got elected as secretary? It's because our administration team (including me) did not have a lot of backbone to give real consequences like removing them from a dance cover or temporarily banning them for x days.

But anyways. You guys know I finally did it. I permanently banned (fired) this person off the team. I would like to say in my last few sentences that I think I did it as professionally as I could in the most firm, but not aggressive, tone. I'm not going to lie that I got anxious after sending the notice of termination to her. My hands were shaking right after. But it's over, and after several hours have passed, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can continue to be my lazy self and just let the dance members do their thing without me worrying.

End.
