on a serious note

wow. i actually fired my carpenter today. i have never fired anyone before. i don't like the feeling. what sucks is that i really like the guy, but his work ethic is horrible! he started out as a student worker, then got bumped up to Carpenter the year before I got here. He learned under my predecessor... hence the shoddy work and lack of professionalism.

He's a 21 year old that really needs to shape up, especially after finding out this type of work is what he wants to do for the rest of his life. i don't think he believed me when i told him that i can get him into some really good companies when he's ready - if he could just kick it into gear... he couldn't, apparently.

i feel bad. i feel like i could have helped him become really good. did i give up to soon? i don't think so. but, who knows.

any advice from anyone who's fired someone? how do you deal?
