Would you rehire Tom Mendola?
This is a difficult question to answer. It sounds like the family really needs the money, and the father is to ill to hold a job. His mother has to stay at home to care for the other nine children, so you hate for fire someone who has 11 other people depending on him. That being said, Tom needs to be let go. He is a bad employee to have at any company. Not only does he lose interest in his work very quickly, but he keeps co-workers from working to their potential. This is a dangerous kind of employee to have working for you. Even though you want to help Tom out because his situation is so bad, you have to let him go because you are running a business. Even though I feel he should be fired, the company does have a responsibility to the community, so helping Tom could be a benefit to the image of the company.

Nick,
I hear what you're saying brother. It is a tough situation that Tom is in but he needs to mature and take care of his family. With that being said the company needs to let him go. He is not producing for them and that is the bottom line. It's all about the benjamins and he's not helping the company. The actions that they took to try and move him and talk with him were good but he didn't respond and that is his fault. Let him go and don't worry about his family, thats what he should worry about.
