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.

Well fine! Mad


After I find out where you live when I die, I'll just have to figure out something else evil to do to you.


And THEN you'll be sorry!

She's eye candy.



And I'm sure after a couple years of working in this office with me, you can attest to how very important that is. Wink

How dare you accuse the poor man of being a stoner. Maybe he's just a drunk.

All kidding aside. As others have said, acively start immediately looking for a new qualified driver to take his place. When you find one, dump his arse asap. Anyone who is high on anything at work is a danger to others, as well as being dangerous to the company's reputation. He doesn't really deserve to have a good job, or any job, for that matter.
