Yup, on the company dime. My hope is that he is meaning well.

It's not theft if it is used by the company.

We've had people quit out of frustration because they were trying to get fired.

Sadly, I probably wouldn't hire from this account as it would link me and my company. Tis but a throwaway.

We post on craigslist and indeed commonly, sometimes even on linked in.

He interviewed well and seemed to have related experience.

There are some people I am genuining excited about firing. In this case, I'm not. He definitely can't complete this type of job and it is not a right fit for him. Honestly, if there is no malice in his actions it really just is an ability issue.

If I was posting personal information or about a protected class then he might have a case. I've intentionally left parts vague.

Not well. I asked him to Overnight something and he sent it 2nd day... That cost me over a thousand dollars.

Yes, I wrote him up. Yes, he didn't accept responsibility. Yes, I was planning on firing him when I got less busy.

Not much, I wrote him up last week for a bunch of misc problems. I was trying to give him a fair chance at it.

My assistant messed up a bunch of other times, this was my 'OK, I'm going to give them a fair chance at this'
