• Have you ever fired an employee who honestly gave 100% effort and did not slack off, but still wasn't quite productive enough?

• DRer - Apparently, you don't like that I would fire your ass for being drunk or high on the job, or if you got arrested for DUI/DWI. Either that, or you like to abuse people. (Or do you steal paperclips and staples?)

• I don't think a dui should affect employment unless your a driver. Whats next bad credit because I have tons of medical bills?

• DUI, means you have times when you can't control yourself, and you're incapable of thinking clearly enough to call a family member, cab, or whatever, and you DROVE drunk... Driver or not. Conviction means you now have a criminal record. Think Morals clauses.
  .
  Believe it or not, many places DO use your credit report/number.

• Exactly the three I would have named... I count habitual tardiness as "not doing their work," too. ++

• Unless their job does not depend on them being there at a specific time, they get their work done, and they make up the hours (a parent getting a child off to school or something). Then I would talk to them.

• If you're stuck between firing a theif and a liar, fire the liar. You can at least watch the theif.

• No. Fire the thief. Lying is not against the law, and they will get caught, too.

• Right, Keysha, I can agree with that... Shinjiikari- IMO, theft is a form of dishonesty, which lying is also. I wouldn't care if someone was a pathological liar as long as the work was completed. Someone who has stolen something has already ACTED dishonestly.

• Nope, you get your job done AND screw off. As long as you get done what you are supposed to get done?

• If you get your job done and still have time to screw off, you obviously need more work.

  Fired the moment that got back to her boss.

• Florida, where i reside is an "At Will" state. An employer can fire an employee for any reason. There are laws to protect conversation at the work but gossip is a disruptive behavior and should not be tolerated in my opinion. Thank you for your comment.
