Maybe I do need to resign. I'm rather new at this job and this is the first time I had to fire someone, I don't want to have to do it on a regular basis. Thanks for the feedback, you're all right this job just ain't for me.

Now I feel bad for you. Maybe a lot of first-time managers go through this when they first have to fire someone. Maybe you'll learn to deal with it in a professional way and realize it shouldn't have impact on you emotionally. It's not your job to decide what is right or wrong in life, but it is your job as a manager to decide what is right or wrong professionally.Originally Posted by El Gatopod
I liked the job so much better before I became assistant manager, I'm just not much of a hardass. Shit I just can't do this job, sucks too much. That guy never did nothing to me, I won't fire him. Yeah, he was drunk, I don't know what problems he has but he never did anything to me. If he was in my posistion, he, **** I don't know he'd probably fire me, but I'm not going to.
Well that's your decision. Don't fire him.
My advice to you as a person is this: sometimes you don't know why you choose the things you do, but if your instinct is to not fire the man, then don't. If you don't like the way things are going, then change them. You don't even have to quit. Just know that if you aren't going to obey the upper management, they are going to probably have something against you and you may end up losing your job for it, so don't be surprised.
However, nothing may happen to you at all. You may save that guy's job and sleep better at night for it.
Yeah, I doubt I'll get fired but, I'll get shit for it, maybe they'll just give me my old job back. We can go ahead and close this thread. Thanks for all the advice.
