Sometimes, some guys, its just better to have a workplace accident and be done
with it

One of the reasons I have always liked companies that start all newbies with
a trusted(by you) mentor. That mentor can usually make the call within days of
the hiring of the value of the newbie. One week and one month review between
you and the mentor. Your choice on disclosure of the newbie's status via the
mentor at the start. But formally assigned to the mentor upon hiring...

It would have been cheaper to have paid him to sit on the side of the
street for the rest of the day. And my wife just told me that he has not even
been with us 30 days yet. I got a creepy feeling about him from the get – go.
Was way too familiar with me for my liking. (I think I will adopt the Ellen
rule: no eye contact for the first 10 years...)
Another one bites the dust. I have always said the following about hiring
and firing:
I have (with the exception of one guy) never regretted firing anyone.
Almost always have wished I had done it sooner.
Firing makes your company stronger if done right. Your coworkers see that
you are not letting toxic or slacker people continue to be employed.

You're not leaving him stranded in the desert, just telling him what time
the ride is. My only question would be whether you are required to pay him for
the time he's just sitting there. His time isn't really his own at that point.
As an optics thing it won't play well. Might have been better to wait
until the end of the work day.

My supervisor fired a problem employee at a construction site this
morning. We have had lots of problems with this guy and I was glad to see him
go. We hauled him to the job site and now he wants someone to take him back to
our office to get his vehicle. I cannot spare a person or vehicle at that
site. I don’t want to send someone special over to that site to haul him.
Both the supervisor and I told him he can sit on the side of the street until
we are done for the day and we will take him back.
He has his brother now calling and threatening police action, saying it
is Utah law that you have to give him a ride.
Not sure about that. If he was not such a dick I would have probably
sent someone to get him. I don’t want to do it, I don’t want to send any of
the women.
Anyone every heard that you have a legal duty to immediately transport
someone back to their vehicle if you terminate them?
