I'm finally moving out of my first seattle apartment. I'm getting a place right behind my bar, which I can't imagine will be anything short of kick-ass. I should be moving in about a week and then the good times will definitely start to roll.
I'm having difficulty with an employee of mine. Technically he's not an employee, he's a "Guest Bartender". Before I got promoted the owner of the bar fired this douche, and then for some reason the guy manipulated his way into getting the guest spot for our big tuesday night. Which is another problem, I have 5 employees that need good shifts and I have three guest bartenders for that night. it's annoying.
Anyways, I think this particular douchebag blames me for his termination. And I think that now he's out to get me. Ever since he was fired/guested, he's been very cold to me... And now I hear he's telling lies about me. I've been extremely gracious, even though it is my goal to have my employees replace these guest bartenders, and even though it's both my owner's and my estimation that he's the worst of the bunch.
So, I'm torn as to what to do. I'm considering just flat out firing him. I think that may be a little hard, but it will work. I can replace my upstairs bartender on the special night with one of my other employees and replace the guy I'm firing with the upstairs guy who's recently proven he can ring big. OR, I can talk this through. I'm a big fan of talking this through. maybe there's a misunderstanding on my part, right?
But I'll probably just fire him.
