[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don’t know why so many on DCUM side with coddling slackers. While people may feel sorry for this guy, where’s the sympathy for his co-workers who had to deal with him for a decade? And, what about the worker’s ethics of taking full pay and not doing his job for ten years? Frankly, I have no sympathy for such a person. He’s been playing his co-workers and company for 10 years, and now he’s finally going to bear some consequence. Good riddance! [/quote]

This.  I can't speak to the legal issues, but, from an ethical point of view, OP needs to give UOG (useless old guy) a very specific list of requirements that need to be met by a specific date in order to keep his job.  If he does that, great, he keeps his job and then is held to the standards of his co-workers for productivity.  If not, OP should have no remorse over firing UOG, since it is clear that he is unable and/or unwilling to fulfill the requirements of the job.

I also agree with the possibility of finding him another job somewhere else in the organization that is better suited for him, but that depends upon his skills (if any) and the organization.[/quote]
