[quote=Anonymous]Just before Thanksgiving, one of 5 analysts that report to me took a new job. No bad blood at all. I was happy for the young guy to make move and get a better role with more money. We interviewed 4 candidates for the replacement. Pretty much all 4 fit the bill so it came down to personality. Meaning who would work best in our environment.  We picked Rob.

I did not pick up on this at the time (I mean, can you?) but Rob is... a weenie. He 'tattles' on the other analysts for...... coming in 6 minutes 'late', for not taking out the trash in the kitchen, for, I kid you not, parking badly in the parking lot. At first I chalked it up to eagerness to please a supervisor, but yesterday, first day back after the holiday break, my manager called me in and sad Rob told him he saw my computer screen showing LL Bean's website. I told him I was processing returns from Christmas. He really didn't care at all but now he is wondering if this guy might be a liability. He's worried he might contact clients and air dirty laundry, no matter how insignificant it is.

So, he's told me I can fire him at will. But I want to give the guy a chance to keep his mouth in check. What would you say to him? Or, would you just can theguy?[/quote]
