Give him a chance

Imagine hiring a person to work for you.  Every day your employee comes to work and lies to you. He advocates grabbing the women in the office by the crotch. When he is supposed to be working he is often golfing. Your employee has bankrupted several of his own businesses, yet he tells you he will make your company great. You find out he got the job by lying on his application. Now you wonder if you should fire him, but all the people he gives free donuts say, give him a chance.  You feel like you have given him a chance, but he has insulted just about everyone in the office.  A lot of your good people have quit because they are embarrassed to work with him and cover up his lies.  Yet the donut eaters keep telling you, give him a chance.  So far after many months the new guy has accomplished nothing.  He promised so much. He said he would get the parking lot paved and have the company next door pay for it. On it goes things don’t get any better, yet you feel you should just give him a chance. The other companies that used to rely on you and your service are beginning to wonder what kind of businessman you are.  The image your new employee creates is hurting your product, but you have a hard time admitting you made a big mistake, so give him a chance.
