We have an unstable crazy guy at our office. There was an incident with a weapon where I should have called the cops. I honestly would like to fire him regardless of the mania and instability.

But I refuse to fire him because of incidents like this. Hell I am afraid to quit because the company might fail without me. Either way crazy is sitting in his house thinking about me. No. Thanks. He’s allowed to work from home 4 days a week instead.

I left my last job because of the same situation. I was specifically told that the person was not fire-able.

So, I quit. The place is falling apart, because all of the other decent people left as well (there are other factors, not just this single crazy guy). But I was the first rock in the avalanche.

Do I feel responsible for the business? Maybe a little, but my primary responsibility is to myself and my family. No job is worth getting shot by some nutcase.

I'm still a little concerned that he'll show up in my driveway, one evening. Fortunately, he's the lazy type, and driving out to my house would likely be too much effort for him.

This interview was on our local radio yesterday - listen to the whole thing - I think you will find it interesting. She talks about getting rid of people such as the employee you have after the first discussion on hiring.
