I had a black female employee who stole about $5,000 from the company. We knew she did it. We had all of the proof in the world and we still had to be cautious about it. I think that's a lot of BS that you have to do everything to an exhausting CYA extent simply because some people have been taught to pull the race card.
Are any of you an employer/manager?

Aww man, he wasn't smoking, he was vaping. Look how quick you were to pull the plug on him by associating smoking with vaping. Shame on you Banker.
I fire people all the time. Mostly for consistently effing up the TPS reports. I mean damn, I send out memos all the time about the TPS reports and people still eff them up. So they get fired.
Funniest story was when I fired this guy (for effing up TPS reports) and due to some glitch in the accounting department…the dude kept getting a paycheck. So for two years this guy kept showing up to work and kept receiving a pay check even after I had fired him two years prior. But I took care of that problem real quick. Did I fire him again? No. I merely had accounting fix the glitch. Boom! No confrontation. The problem just handled itself.

I own a satellite television business with Directv. Fired a guy one time for leaving something in a customer's crawl space.
Strange that Heisman has fired only a trans gender and a black person. Shocking really.
I've fired many white people but no one gives a **** about those stories because they're not interesting. The trans story is pretty amazing because that was the most absurd situation you could throw someone into their first week and I had no idea it was an ugly man when we decided to fire them. I just thought it was an ugly woman.
I did notice you left out the fact that the transgender was committing time clock fraud and the black female stole over $5,000. Uh-oh...it must be some crazy bigotry to fire them. Couldn't be the theft.
Your comment is why most employers have to jump through a thousand hoops and endless paperwork to get rid of ****** people from "protected classes."
I like to give employees the benefit of the doubt about time off and I'm one of those suckers who believes that employees will work harder for you for LOYALTY rather than fear.
However, I have had an employee who consistently calls in to work sick after they earn a day of PTO, games the FMLA system to stay employed with BS chronic conditions, times unscheduled absences based on the rolling year when previous unscheduled absences roll off...managing a complicated system...just to be able to skip work when feeling blue or lazy.
I think that a good manager deals individually with problem employees and doesn't set up BS rules for everyone just because a single person doesn't want to work. What sucks is that in most workplaces, an idiot who games the system will make the managers treat everyone else in the office worse.
Wasn't the manager in this situation but it involved a coworker (good friend) getting fired.
Long story short hated the place we worked to the point that he literally was just completely miserable all the time.
Walks in the office with the door still open to the customer lobby, puts a chair up on one of the office desk. Grabs the chair between his legs like the horn of a saddle, throws his other hand up and the air and proceeds to rock back and forth yelling "Woo!" very loudly. After a few seconds jumps up kicks the chair off the desk, turns to a lady out at the counter, points at her and yells "That's a FULL ride right there!"
Manager comes flying in from the other office entrance, yells "You are fired! get the hell out of here"
Buddy turns, looks at me and says "Thank you Lord, call me later" And walked out.
Most epic melt down I ever witnessed first hand. Completely and utterly hilarious.

I manage 17 people. Their length of service ranges from 6 - 43 years, with 3 of them having 40+ years and 7 of them ranging from 25-39 years. Individually and collectively they are all awesome people and a pleasure to work with. Outside of going to a ****ing million mostly useless meetings, I love my job.
I've had to do this more time than I care to count and it sucks. There is no other way to describe it.
One of the things about working in management is, I have lost pretty much all sympathy for most people. I think the majority of people are con artists and would turn on you within a second as soon as they don't get what they want.
I've heard every excuse possible and as soon as you try to enforce an unpopular decision or hold someone accountable, the fangs come out.

It's messed up that Heisman has ever had the power to fire anyone, or hire anyone, or really to be in charge of anything. jmo.
Yeah, you know so much about me from a message board. However, I do know from your entire posting history that you're a total ***** that never adds anything of value. Just a douche for the sake of being a douche like a lot of the GYERO crowd. It's almost as if you think they make Letterman jackets for the Paddock and your desperate need to "fit in" and be "cool" is as pathetic as your posts.
EAD.
:joy: You're right, you definitely have the cool head and relaxed temperament for hiring and firing.
I've hired hundreds and fired a whole bunch. You haven't lived until you fire someone over seas, especially a FN or LN (Foreign National or Local National). Ha Ha...the pain you go through. I could tell a bunch of stories about those hired and those fired. For national companies, my own company, and the government...foreign and domestic...what a ride...but, DANG....
How'd you like to work for Willie....what a dog gone ride...[laughing]
