Last week I had an employee basically ask me to fire him. He committed an offense that was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back (he had 3 previous write-ups in his file), and when I pulled him aside to talk with him about it, he literally was like, "I know you've got to do what you've got to do." Long story short, he was practically begging to be fired. He was useless (I didn't hire him), but I was still hesitant because I don't want him to collect a dime of unemployment from us. But I still cut him loose. We well documented all of his missteps, and he even signed a "last warning" write up.

People who just blow off good jobs in this economy blow my mind.
