Yay! I had to be ruthless good-for-nothing boss that gets bad-mouthed behind my back! My dream is completel! Kidding, aside, I feel like crap right now, because I had to fire an employee I've given every mercy sanely possible to.
It started with general grouchiness, then finally he started snapping at our cook for just "standing there instead of cleaning something" when food was cooking (even though Ron and I, you know, the people who own the establishment, told her not to leave the stove, boiler, or microwaves' sides when she had something preparing in them). She reported him when he wouldn't stop, so Ron and I let him have it with a good talking to and a warning.
Then today I caught him sloooooowly washing the dishes intentionally waiting until the last minute to finish them so that the cook would have to stay late to clean out all the removeable parts of the cooking equipment. He even refused offers for help and I found he's been doing for weeks. We had just figured the dishes just really piled up a lot or something. But no, it turns out he could have had them done in time for Grace to finish up on time.
So I fired his ass. Feeling both guilty and mad at him right now.
