I'm dealing with a terrible, bitchy employee at work

Any recommendations on how to deal with a bad employee?

I've got this younger guy that works for me who apparently is under the mistaken impression that I can't replace him with any of 1,000 people looking for a job right now. I think he might actually have a mild case of Aspergers, because his strategy for keeping his job apparently is to talk down to me and then report me to HR when I snap back at him. Only thing keeping us from firing him is the fear that he sues us for retard discrimination.

All this guy does is complain all day, sometimes on Internet forums (yes, he's stupid enough to bitch about me from our work computers), and then he darts around trying to avoid me. This guy seems to think I'm incompetent and suffer from selective memory loss, but truth be told, he's just so useless that anything he says really isn't worth remembering.

How do yall handle a situation like this?

Um...record his activities and take it to HR? Seems like he is leaving a gold mine behind to justify firing his retarded ass.

EDIT: Parody? Of what?
 
Most companies will give one or two verbal warnings, a written warning then dismissal. Most people including myself are working harder and longer hours just to keep our jobs as they are far and few between.

Perhaps when you talk to him, bring HR into the room also, that will wake him up.

Frank, do you really think this is the correct place for a person in your position to air your grievances about my work ethic? I'm scheduling a HR meeting right now!

You can pick up the phone to make the call...but you won't be alive when they come to investigate...

"Oh, I dunno what happened to him. He said something about having some business down by the river." 😕 "He never did explain, he just jumped in his old "Free Candy" van and left."

Hmmmmm. Wait a sec...which of you is doing this??
 
Document, document, document. Once you have enough on him, can his lame ass and let him try to sue for wrongful termination. If your documentation is good and accurate, he'll lose. Also get as many witnesses to insubordination as you can, and get statements from them. If it's you against him and you are his superior, it can become "he said, she said."
