To Fire or Not To Fire?
Was having a few small problems during the week with one of my outsourcers. Usually they are great to work and very good at their job but I noticed progress was slow this week and not much was getting done.
I sent an email but got no reply, so I followed it up with a strongly worded one asking what was going on. To cut a long story short my employee had a family situation to take care of and so asked their friend to keep on top of their work for them while they went away to sort everything out.
Now I'm not the baddest guy in the world and if I received an email saying they wouldn't be in for a few days I wouldn't have cared. But the fact they didn't tell the truth from the get-go and tried to fool me by having their friend cover for them should I just give them the bullet and fire them?
I know a lot of you would have more experience with this sort of thing than me so what would you advise?
I know a job means a lot to those people so I don't want to act too rashly and just give them the bullet and ruin their life:confused:
Cheers for you help.
