I let my first member of staff go.
I fired him.
It feels terrible. It feels really wrong.
This is not why one pours his or her life in a startup. I
want to create job. I want to see people thrive and reach their potential.
But with G this didn't work out.
I hired G in December. His family back ground is complicated. His dad was murdered. His family are very poor. Life is
hard.
Since he started working he has missed work on so many
occasions I had to do something as it was affecting the morale of my staff.
I think he has a drugs or/and alcohol problem. I organised a
place in rehab for him. The councillors of the rehab told me that I cannot
change him. He needs to make the first step by acknowledging his addiction.
Against my labours consultants advice I asked G if he had an
addiction. I asked if I could help.
He turned me down. He turned help down, an opportunity to
start again.
I wonder where he will end up. He is a good man. As
struggling man, but aren't we all struggling in some way.
Be blessed G. Travel the journey of life well. May you find
freedom.
