General Board: Anyone ever have to fire some one?

Curious?


Today I caught this guy drinking on the job site. Was black out hammered by the end of the day. Had to tell him not to come back...


The guys on probation for four OUI’s and did a year in prison for the fourth. So now I think since sending him home his wife will call his probation officer and he’s going back in the drunk tank...


Anyone ever have to do this?

Yeah i had to do it last yr a week before Christmas,damn i hated myself for it
too,but Beans i came to realise that their actions are not your making,it is hard,
but then that's life all over,hard,and your not responsible for their actions they
are...peace.

I have had to fire a few people. Its not fun because you know that you are potentially fucking someones life up but business doesnt have feelings. It sucks to let go someone that is a good person but shitty worker. Just remember tho, if the roles were reversed, you would be canned.

I fired my cousin last summer for siphoning gas out of one of the trucks in my fleet. Fired another guy this year for wrecking my zero turn. Dumb ass rolled a 7,000.00 mower into a retention pond.    guess who gets to pay for it???? hint, its not the guy who crashed it

Yes, I supervise in manufacturing and machining...I've even had to fire a couple of my very close and personal friends over the years. To avoid the process being difficult or too damning, im always very upfront with everyone in advance if their tardiness or performance needs improved and offer them clarity on "how much longer I can hold management back" tha way if they keep it up or something happens its more of a "told ya so, bro." Ive found it easiest that way, personally.
