You have at least one recourse. If the employee continues to act like an asshat, don't fire him. Instead, reduce his hours so much that he basically can't live on his wages and has to quit. If he's a delivery driver, give him shitty runs that go to the far reaches of your delivery area. If you fire him you will have to pay for unemployment. I normally despise this method of dealing with problem employees, but in the cases of dicks like him, go nuts.
Dr Pizza: I understand your point of view but this is his business. If he gives exceptions or leniency then that employee and other employees will probably start pushing the limits. True, it's a menial job, but it's HIS money that is paying their wages. All he is asking is to wear the proper uniform. I don't consider that as micro-managing and does not take a big effort on the employee's end. You don't even know if this is a policy that the company requires to be adhered to continue to be a franchise. It didn't sound to me like the OP flipped out on him. Maybe he should have given a verbal warning first, however.
Great post! :thumbsup:
On top of the fact that this is probably a franchise, there are more considerations for uniform etiquette than would even normally be........(Cali is the worst)......and better to handle it just as stated above.
Also, there seems to be a huge lack of respect in the entire work world lately. It almost seems to fall directly in line w/ the current & prior generation's sense of "entitlement".
Kids telling their parents to F3ck off!!
Employees telling their employers the same!!
Hell, I've got a buddy workin' mother-fvckin' CAKEBOY union job (can't get fired to save his life) and he says without union this fortune 500 company would just walk all over employees.
Well, then shine it. It's obvious, we're inching toward socialism anyway.......let's just do it & then we can all be happy.
:roll:
