What are the three top reasons you would fire an employee?

Theft/fraud
Behavior that turns away customers/clients
Showing up to work naked

1 - Theft.
2 - Lack of productivity/results.
3 - Insubordination.

Employing themselves without my knowing of it
Theft
Constant lateness... unless I run a laidback business and they can make the time up sometime else.

Assuming I had an employee...
Not getting work done well and/or on time (poor performance, I guess you call that); stealing; being an butt-hole.

Criminal activity
Not following company rules and policies
Not doing their job

disloyalty to the US
crapty work
insubordination

They don't do the work; they hassle other employees; they take too much time off.

Dishonesty, Abuse, Tardy or frequent absence. Dishonesty and abuse can be many things.

lying, stealing, body odor

Character. Character. Character. If you think you're gonna fire, don't hire.

1. Stealing
2. Not doing their work

That kind of covers it.

theft
being too lazy
being a jerk to other employees

Not doing what I asked them to, I would ask them why they didn't do it and if their answer sucked I would jot that down in my "reasons to fire them' notes.
Looming in clients spaces. Standing there looming in the doorway for no good reason. Looming in my space and not working.
Lying on their application about their qualifications.
It most likely wouldn't be for one reason, but several.
Oh, and stealing. I would most likely ive them what ever they really needed but if they took something without asking I would be upset.

Violated company policy (stealing, lying, cheating on time cards, etc).

Coming in late too many times, slacking off on work, using dope while on the job, talking on cell phone outside work related conversations, lots of reasons i would fire a employee

Theft, Constant lateness, insurbordination (not sure on that one but def the 1st two)

Theft
Showing up high/drunk etc...
Sloth

They were stealing. They were rude/abusive/mean, etc to other staff members or customers. They were consistently late or absent from work.

I hate sacking people.

1. Not Gay Enough.

Showing up late for work all the time

1. Laziness
2. Consistantly sucking or missing work
3. Harassment or violence.

> lying, stealing, body odor

I have a friend at work who had gastric bypass years ago. She doesn't take care of herself, and as a result... has some very noxious gas problems. (Luckily, since I work at home, I can't smell her through IM) Someone went to the top and submitted a complaint about her "body odor". That is in very bad taste I think. I could see asking to have your desk moved to a different area... but complaining that someone farts too much? I mean, really.. what can you do?

Maybe she could use Bean-O or something... ...I wouldn't call that "body odor". Body odor is something fixable with regular showering and perhaps deoderant. Seriously, though, maybe if she changed her diet, she could fart less or have the farts smell less... you say she doesn't take care of herself? Does that lead to excess farting?

lol.. I don't know. I really only assume she doesn't take care of herself because the gastric wasn't very effective... For all I know, she's doing everything right. I call her a friend, but she's more of a chat buddy..... She's actually not really my type.... extremely christian... totally crazy.. and she once showed me a picture of her daughter in a casket with no warning... but she keeps me entertained on IM. If I stopped talking to crazy people at work, I'd be pretty lonely.

Right.... they came to her and called it BO... but her assumption was that because she was never aware of having a BO problem, it was gas... because she knows she's always farting. I have personally never smelled anything but an occasional doo-doo smell in her rare presence... I assume that's the farts. She's an older lady....

1) I don't have any employees, so who the hell are you?
2) What are you doing in my house?
3) Why. Are. You. Touching. Me?

What are the top three reasons you would set an employee on fire?

Bad attitude, incompetent, lazy.

1) Constant and incessant honesty
2) Expecting a fair wage
3) Taking initiative of their own (really quite annoying!)
