KJ:
He had been caught padding his time card. The cut his hours to 1/2 time. He refused to do the work, refused to learn the job and was slacking off every chance he got. He had not been to work in 4 days. They removed his phone and computer. They stopped answering his phone calls. They refused to talk to him in the office. They did all they could to get him to quit so they did not have to pay unemployment. Finally they told him to stop coming to work and are paying unemployment.
All before I said anything to anyone about him threatening his co worker with physical violence.
He messed up his OWN job and his own livelihood.
I am not saying my actions were justified or a thing of beauty or even right. They worked for me. I have never had an addiction problem so I find it impossible to see things from his point of view.
