Firing someone is always stressful. You’re taking their livelihood from them. Little do they know about the financial and work burden it puts on you the employer to replace them. Absolutely no one wants to fire someone.
So, having said that what have you eventually fired someone for beyond the normal?
I recall a guy, who was a “journeyman level” that I fired for doing a “G” job during his regular work hours. He also at the same time, bent 30 high end parts during final operation by hitting them with a dead blow to ‘seat’ them in the soft jaws because he was in a hurry to finish as he had pulled this company job from the machining center to do his “G” job!
Most of the time I would talk to and give people a written warning spelling out want they needed to do to make things right in my, the employer's eye. Three warnings on the same issue was usually a reason to fire.
