I've never had to fire ewest because he never uses work as an excuse not to do things Pond Boss-related (unlike others here).
I actually fired a guy once. It was kinda hard as his younger brother was one of my Best Toolmakers. He needed a job because the co. he worked for was on strike, and no benefits were available, and he had a family. Said OK, and paid him the same wage he was getting at the union shop.
Bad mistake on my part.
Everything that got broken or destroyed, he caused. When he took out a 15ft wide x 12ft high Industrial overhead door with the Cat Fork Truck, that was about it!
I laugh about it now, and have no ill will toward him, but it was not funny back then!
I hope he is doing OK!
