[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone on my team in a key position is leaving. But he is totally passive aggressive. Took two vacation weeks in last two months and just requested another one three weeks from now. And might I add, a personal day next week. Just smiles and never voices displeasure. Do I absolutely know he is going? No, but all the telltale signs are there, including nothing personal in his office and every so often giving someone an FU type smartass answer.

Here's the thing, I already spoke to recruiters about filling the position because I cannot afford to have it vacant. What if I get someone before he resigns? It could very well happen in this market. Or he finds out about the search?[/quote]

1) He can leave if he wants and when he want (after giving proper notice if he decides that is a benefit to him). 
2) He does not need to tell you he is leaving till he gives notice
3) He doesn't not need to tell you his thoughts related to his job satisfaction/job search 
4) You cannot find a pretext to fire him because you are mad you don't have access to his inner thoughts and that you can't force him to stay or leave at your demand
5) He is not your child or pet or puppet
6) Consider that being controlling may be making your staff uncomfortable[/quote]
