Question for business owners/managers/boss types
Has anyone ever had to fire a friend? That's the position I find myself in soon. Any advice?

Never been in that situation. My dad taught me how to avoid that one a long time ago.

Would have been easier had we not be friends before I became his boss. He's always been very respectful of the boss/employee relationship though, it's never been a problem. Still he's a friend and I'm trying to decide if it's best to just be blunt or coddle him just enough to maybe help his ego. I'm leaning towards blunt... but not mean.

Tell him you've been told you need to let him go but you are so conflicted you are considering resigning instead.
If he resigns to keep you from quitting he's your friend.
If he doesn't he isn't your friend and you don't have to feel bad about canning his ass.

i almost had to fire my BEST FRIEND a couple of months ago.


we have been best friends for 20 years and he just got to where he didnt show up quite often.



i made the decision to fire him on a monday morning when he showed up for work and he came in and gave his 2 weeks notice saying "I know that i cant show up for work consistently enough to work for my friend..."

he had owned a construction company and was used to being able to go and do what he wanted when he wanted. my business isnt that way.

needless to say he's back to wood butchering

I did that to a friend several years ago. Slow winter so I took an electrical apprentice job for his union shop to put some food on the table. Couldn't handle the guys on his crew hiding in a room for half the day because they couldn't do the job faster than it was bid. Made an 8 hour day seem like 16 so I started showing up when I wanted to... Called him up a couple weeks later and told him exactly why I couldn't continue. Felt like an ass but there's no way I'm going to sit around playing that union game.

No,but I lost a good friend once due to him becoming involved with a sales rep of mine.Everything was fine until said rep decided she could start slacking off and taking advantage of my business due to her thinking she had an ace in the hole.Turns out she was wrong as when I turned up the heat she bailed on me and my friend of 20 years took her side.

To this day it still amazes me what a piece of ass can do to a guys thinking.
