EDITOR'S PICK

"I always hear it takes too much to fire an employee; however, I never see or hear of anyone making an attempt. Verbal counseling, followed by written counseling should be enough. The problem IMO is that managers aren't the ones paying the bad employee(s) and don't care as long as there is a body filling the position. Is there anyone else who sees shenanigans like these?"
