Should I fire this guy?

So the other day my buddy over at UPS sends me a resume.....from one of my own employees!!!

Here's the deal. I manage a small medical supplies company with about 25 or so employees. Well we have this one guy working in the loading bay that drives the fork lifts. He and the UPS guy are always going behind the building and getting stone. He thinks I don't know, but his poor job performance and blood shot eyes give it away

Anyway. The UPS guy is just as much of a stoner like I said, and he told my stoner employee about an opening driving lifts at the UPS distribution center near by. I guess my guy thinks he has an "in" at the company. Well my stoner must have put my email address instead of his on the resume because I just got an email from UPS thanking me for my resume, but the email was addressed to him.

What do you think? Should I fire this guy? I already had a meeting telling him he's not a good fit, but unfortunately I don't even have a monkey that can drive the lifts right now.

I think you should buy him an HP TouchPad, kill his dog and cat, tell him to shut up, and beat up his 5 year old son instead.

Does the person driving the Fork Lift need to be "certified" - if so - you need to keep him until you find someone "certified" - as in most places I know of - Fork Lift drivers need certification. So if you don't have someone to replace him - find someone before letting him go.

Btw - that was really stupid of him

I'm not that mean. I suggest OP waits to do that until after the next hurricane and earthquake.

This will also teach me to not read all the threads here

You tell the guy he sucks at what he does and then want to fire him for looking for employment elsewhere? If he isn't good enough for your company then look for a replacement.

WTF is wrong with you, OP? You suck at bossing, that's what I think.
