Dude I lead a team of 30 guys across Asia. We have a process we go through for this. I think give hin one more chance if he is as good as you say but it has to be a written warning. Layout the facts and what he is done. Discrimination is no joke. Be clear that if he fvcks up again he is gone, friendship or not. If you think that wont work then go ahead and pull the trigger.

If he is such a dick making innapropriate jokes ect is he worth employing at all? What if he says this stuff in front of a big customer or something. Not only could you lose business but someone could sue your company for this kind of talk. Give the position to someone who has earnt it through hard work.

here is the thing he has been written up 3 times allready not counting all the problems and complants i past over and now yet again another, and plus he cost us a major business contract because of a nasty comment in a meeting and now this..... i know we are best friends but when i was on the phone with me a while ago HE DID'NT even think he did anything wrong

i dont know i am just thinking that enough is enough my wife seems to think he just keeps it up because of our friend ship and he does get away with 10X more than i would let any one i spent lots of money a while ago on getting Company bilaws and rules regs and damn if he is'nt testing them all

If you've warned him before about making jokes etc. his time is up.
Like you said, he needs to be a leader, someone to look up to, if he's offending people tell him to do so elsewhere.
You also need to think ahead and see if your company is going to feel negative effects (money wise) if he's gone.
Give him a serious talk/warning....and let him know there WON'T be a next time. JMO

I've fired some of my closet friends before, they get pissed and stay away for a while and then they come back to tan and visit (of course these are high school girls that don't make a living from the job, so that is a little tougher) btw what do you do if you don't mind me asking. I own a tanning salon and a body jewelry store and plan on adding more locations very soon, always love to talk to a fellow business owner Ps fire the guy, if he's your friend he wouldn't put you in that spot to begin with

[Teabagger]

Trash can him...give him a nice severance package...several months pay, and tell him to hit the door. If this were the first or second time I'd say verbally kick his ass...but there is a pattern of disrespect and feeling above the law...this wil not change...so hard as it will be....Bang!! you're gone.

GOOD LUCK i should just fire him I was going to lay him off say that i was doing away with the possion this way he could get unemployment and a godd severance well not now ........... and the fact that he was rude to the wife is not cool thats why he is in the possion he is in oh well so ends that sucks we were fishing buddies , hang out golf man this sucks

[STYLE74]

Well i think as long as you have write up's and paperwork to prove that he has been a menace in your organazation and you have a good lawyer you should be ok in court because you have the paperwork to prove he has been trouble in the past. Good Luck!

[perfectbeast2001]

some people don't know when they got it good!

[collar]

you might have to fire him .

[Mizfit]

You to some degree created this situation - you should of never treated him any differently than any other employee.

In a way you created him. You should have a set of rules applied to everyone - u said business is business but you were lenient with him and now u gotta pay the piper

You are better off getting rid of him before someone that could win in court sues you for discrimination.
