I've fired people at other jobs, never realy bugged me. My issue now is the guy in question happens to be the asociate director's best friends brother, and I've hit a lot of road blocks from her in the past just disciplining him. AD is out having surgery and on friday guy no call/no showed and didn't show up until 11:30am on Monday (not the first time he's been late, 7:30 is our start time). I spoke with our HR department, and the rep went to legal and feels termination is more than feasible, and has cleared it with legal. He has already told me he's planning on quitting, and he's received several warnings in the last 3 months, so it won't be a surprise except that he won't be happy.
I am clearing all of this with my departments director prior to proceeding, but my fear is that my AD will construe it as going behind her back, which isn't the case, it just so happened that yet another incident occurred while she was out and she's not there to argue on his behalf with HR. How much trouble do you think this will cause me even with all of the back up I have, from the department director, to HR, to legal?
