Let him self-sabotage - does he have "alcoholism" on file as a disability with your company or no?

Is he protected class?

What's stopping you from firing him right now?

Hey that's why I'm asking these questions. I've had difficult situations before but this is a new one on me and my management style is all about trying to inspire people, not fire them for stepping out of line. But if I have to I will, it's just something I've never encountered. I used to manage a much bigger team and I had a lucky break with them because they were awesome. Even the people who resented that a peer became their manager ended up having a really good experience with me (other than the one I managed out of course)

I had a protected class subordinate get caught stealing. Ownership was afraid of firing the employee, so it festered and the employee began calling the managers racist and it was a really bad situation. Cut their hours down to 4 hours/week and they quit. Then they got fired from their next job within 2 weeks and tried to come crawling back.

Don't let poo poo like that fester.
