[QUOTE="witzend, post: 290468, member: 99"] Nope, not a "right to work" state. Thank goodness. But then again, being as there are only two employees, most employment laws don't apply to us. I think I am totally on the "insubordination" page, at this point. We did last year talk to him about the number of sick days he was taking, but as he is only on call at this time, that doesn't really apply. But when you're on call and you don't show, do you really have a job? LOL! My boss is way too big of a softy. He's still paying these guys their auto allowance and their health insurance even though they hardly work at all. I'm sure that if he let this guy go, he would still pay his COBRA, even though with only two employees that law does not apply to us. And thinking that G may be mentally unstable is not a stretch. He's very much a conspiracy theorist, and anything that anyone says that is in line with his way of thinking must be true. We had a rather heated debate just the other day where he cited "facts and laws" to me regarding everything from Canadian Healthcare to retirement funds. He was just wrong on everything, and couldn't cite a source for anything whatsoever. But he is convinced that he would prefer to die of starvation in the gutter rather than take any government "handouts" like Social Security or food stamps. He may get a chance to test his theories out sooner than he thinks. Of course, his collecting unemployment checks and getting health insurance in spite of his not actually working doesn't bother him one bit. He just keeps saying "There's nothing wrong with the economy. I've got a job." Nothing in his head connects to anything in reality. I'm sure you know the type.
