Solution

The appropriate pronoun to complete the sentence is "their". So the sentence should read: "Neither the manager nor the employees are happy with their performance."

Here's why: When using "neither/nor" in a sentence, the pronoun should agree with the noun closer to it. In this case, "employees" is closer to the blank where the pronoun should be. "Employees" is plural, so the plural pronoun "their" is the correct choice.
