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.

Are you kidding? Do you really think that all the people here are unemployed and surfing Slickdeals?
Never said that. But really, as a manager, you shouldn't be surfing slickdeals. Remember? You're a professional. Don't be like your "stoner" employee.

Smoke breaks that consist of only cigarettes are what makes us not like our "stoner" employees.

pfft! I make more managing a distribution doc paying a bunch of stoners to load and unload than you'll make in your entire life.

Just want to let you know I've worked in the medical supply industry for years. Equipment to be exact. So don't start throwing your BS salary in my face.

What else am I suppose to do when I'm tripping balls? My work sucks so I may as well not try until I come back down.

First of all, I haven't had a cigarette in over 6 years. I was make a general comparison in relation to your post.

Second, I didn't create this thread.
