Hire or Fire

The discussion on Tom a few days ago was rather interesting. I found it interesting that everyone wanted to fire Tom. Now I know it wasn't good business to keep him around. However, I feel when you have a young kid that doesn't have much responsibility you can't be as harsh too. People were saying well we already gave him his chances. I dont agree with these comments. I feel management should have found a way to work with Tom. Artur made the comment that we should make him work on some kid of incentive program. I think this would be a good solution. Tom would then work and see no money in his pay check so he would not be able to support his family. Next time he might work harder knowing that if he works hard he'll be able to bring more money home. Also you never want to burn any bridges. Tom might grow up and become very responsible. Someday he might remember how well you company treated him and he might be willing to give back.
