I love having a team to help build a company. It’s a must. But I HATE the human resource side of it. Every time I fire someone and it’s not that often, I have to fight unemployment. Unemployment in the US is to make sure people have pay when they are out of work. It comes directly from the employer. It is NOT paid by the government. It comes out of my pocket. So I don’t mind paying it for seasonal layoffs or layoffs when I just can’t provide the work. But if I fire someone it is always for good cause. It would be wrong for me to deny pay if I am the reason they are laid off. And I’m certainly not going to pay someone to sit home when they were already collecting a paycheck for not doing anything at work.
I fired an employee for not only doing a bad job but putting the safety of others at risk. When he got word I was fighting his unemployment he told me he was going to claim a back injury and a foot injury. That’s what I face. Not this exact thing but constant problems with employees. Again, I love them all. They make the company better and are the reason its successful. I am only the guiding force. The problem is that the team is very protective and if someone is not pulling their weight they force them out. It’s easy to identify the person and the actions needed. It’s a bitch getting it done. It’s gotten bad enough 1 or 2 times over the last decade that I honestly felt my family and myself could be in danger. Today I felt legally threatened. And you better X or I’m going to attack your weakest part, your insurance. It’s brutal and I want to destroy them but it only makes it worse. I have to hand everything over to insurance and lawyers and let it take its course. It’s tough and although I don’t get too anxious about it, I would be lying to say it doesn’t bother me. But less and less each year. When you have 50 employees odds tell you that one isn’t going to work out and every few years it’s going to end very very poorly. I got one of those this week.
