What are dealbreakers for keeping someone around?

Question

We had a situation where we had a manager that was really good with clients, but was always 5-10 minutes late to appointments, and he struggled with using jobber (frustrating because jobber is so easy). So he was good face to face and the actual management of jobs but those two things he just couldn't grasp. Sooo I let him go after trying to work with him on it. Too harsh? I felt like you could be the smoothest person ever but if you can't do the basics, it was going to lead to trouble down the road.

I'd love to hear your opinions on different things you won't compromise on outside of the obvious ones (drinking on the job, being unprofessional etc).

I have to agree with you.&nbsp; For us reliablity is a core value and someone who is always late is not reliable.&nbsp; It is so hard to make the choice at times as they are "nice employees" but constantly disrespect company policies.&nbsp; As we grew I learned that I had to let go of these people.&nbsp;&nbsp;
