Should I fire this guy?

7,411 1,848 August 25, 2011 at 10:15 AM in Chat
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.

If the employee is looking elsewhere for work then that means he doesn't want to be there. An employee who doesn't want to be there, ins't a happy empoyee. Unhappy employees should be dismissed so that they do not bring down moral. nod

Dude... man... I had something, like, REALLY important to reply to this thread with. But like, now all I can think about is going to Taco Bell and scarfing down like twelve tacos. Taco is a funny word, isn't it? Like, say it ten times in a row, man.

I guess it doesn't exist since I have no desire to prove anything to every clueless stranger that challenges me on the internet.

Grade school reverse psychology doesn't work on me.
