Where I worked for 26 years, we had a two week probationary period for all new employees. One was a heavy smoker, so always outside on "smoke break" and not working. He only made it through the first week. Another guy was a "worm dirt" sucker. Always had a mouthful of that nasty stuff, and had a spit cup. It stunk up any darkroom he was using and every other employee complained, so he made it 4 days, but we paid him for the full week.
I was the "production manager" but my own job kept me way too busy to manage the individual employees. We hired a sub manager to deal the employees. After 6 months one of our best and most productive employees told the owner, either that guy goes, or I will kick his ass, or I go. The boss told me to fire him. Any boss that has had to fire someone knows how hard it is. He went right to the owner and declared "you can't fire me!" and the owner said the hell we can't. You have 5 minutes to gather any personal items, and we will escort you to the door. If you resist we will call the cops to arrest you for trespass, and never darken our door again.
We had many great employees there for 15 year or more.
