I let a part-timer go yesterday. He made it easy by being 10 minutes late...again. I was going to wait until after Christmas, but changed my mind following the election.
Time to trim the fat...there are plenty of companies out there who still employ people with a lousy work ethic...especially the young. Send them home. I am noticing a lot more OLDER employees at box stores lately...they actually work, and are happy to be receiving a check.
