We just had to let an installer go, 7 write ups in 7 months. Always something small and always had an excuse for it. In the meeting where we let him go he complained that he hadn't been shown the right things to do and if he had he would have fixed them. It was garbage, he had ride alongs with his supervisor and had been told several times that he needed to make minor corrections in areas. In the end, you just have to document everything and bring down the hammer.
