My COO told me to fire my best roofer and I fought him on it for 2 weeks
He kept saying the guy had a bad attitude, was always late to the morning meetings, and would argue with the crew. I told my COO that the guy could lay a perfect ridge line faster than anyone and never got a callback for a leak. Finally gave in after 3 weeks of back and forth. So I let him go. Fast forward 6 months and my callback rate on new installs jumped up 40 percent and the crew morale is way better. Turns out one toxic guy even if he's good at his job can poison the whole team. Have any of you had to let someone go who was technically great but just a bad fit for the culture?

Does the guy even know what he was doing wrong though?

Right? Had a boyfriend once who couldn't figure out why I was upset either.
