One of the reasons I have always liked companies that start all newbies
with a trusted(by you) mentor. That mentor can usually make the call
within days of the hiring of the value of the newbie. One week and one
month review between you and the mentor. Your choice on disclosure of
the newbie's status via the mentor at the start. But formally assigned
to the mentor upon hiring...

It would have been cheaper to have paid him to sit on the side of the

not even been with us 30 days yet. I got a creepy feeling about him
from the get – go. Was way too familiar with me for my liking. (I
think I will adopt the Ellen rule: no eye contact for the first 10
years...)
Another one bites the dust. I have always said the following about
hiring and firing:
I have (with the exception of one guy) never regretted firing anyone.
Almost always have wished I had done it sooner.
Firing makes your company stronger if done right. Your coworkers see
that you are not letting toxic or slacker people continue to be employed.

You're not leaving him stranded in the desert, just telling him what
time the ride is. My only question would be whether you are required
to pay him for the time he's just sitting there. His time isn't
really his own at that point.
As an optics thing it won't play well. Might have been better to
wait until the end of the work day.

My supervisor fired a problem employee at a construction site this
morning. We have had lots of problems with this guy and I was glad
to see him go. We hauled him to the job site and now he wants
someone to take him back to our office to get his vehicle. I cannot
spare a person or vehicle at that site. I don’t want to send someone
special over to that site to haul him. Both the supervisor and I
told him he can sit on the side of the street until we are done for
the day and we will take him back.
He has his brother now calling and threatening police action, saying
it is Utah law that you have to give him a ride.
Not sure about that. If he was not such a dick I would have probably
sent someone to get him. I don’t want to do it, I don’t want to send
any of the women.
Anyone every heard that you have a legal duty to immediately
transport someone back to their vehicle if you terminate them?
