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.

What better way to prove that the employee is a stoner? laugh out loud
Good point. LMAO

I do, one is tripping balls and the other is getting stoned.
I'm sure there's more to the story. Someone should call the authorities and have an investigation done.

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.

Yes I do.

1st - He sounds bias. Constantly referring to people as "stoner". "my stoner employee"... "I already had a meeting telling him he's not a good fit".

2nd - You can't fire your employee because you think he is on drugs. The appropriate step is to have him do a drug test.

But obviously you don't agree because you strongly feel any/all employees should be fire if they attempt to apply for employment.
It's people like OP who caused the collapse of Bear Stearns and the BP oil spill. Mad

Yep, you fired him good... I heard it all the way down the hall in my office, even! That poor bastard... didn't even see it coming. He thought he was the star of the company.

You're farking mad cause your employee and UPS guy didn't invite you to smoke with them. Wait, you're tripping balls right? That's even worse. Obviously, you're company needs to re-hire someone that has more professionalism than you. I don't really see there's any difference between you and the employee you're bashing.
He has an office, stupid.
