I wish biz was harder to troll, it really compromises any advice I would consider taking on here. Maybe it's for the best--I probably shouldn't take anyone's advice on here.

Be firm. Be honest. Do it quickly.

Don't beat around the bush.

Though pulling a bandaid off of a wound quickly is bad for the skin, it hurts the least.

general manager, of, like, a baseball team?

well, English isn't my mother language!! I run the company for their jewish owners haha and make sure they get a few hundred thousand dollars a month

it's fucking retail!

Then why aren't you just reducing their hours to basically nothing?

This is the low key way to fire retail associates. Do it gradually and pretty soon they will all be working part time somewhere else, thus reducing the chance you get knifed in a mall parking lot.

>feeling bad for motherfucking leeches

Just tell them they're fired you cuckshed general manager

Don't worry about it, losing a retail job is nothing for a 19 year old.

Say it after me: Performance Improvement Plan

I had one of those once. The boss that wasn't giving me any work to do gave me a week to improve my performance, ignored me for a week, then claimed I wasn't doing anything he assigned. But that company is on the DoL's shit list for being idiots so fortunately I still got unemployment.

Don't fire them. Bring them into the office, say hours have to get moved around and people have to lose shifts, unfortunately there is no more hours for you after X day, I am happy to "give you a good review / whatever" and end it nicely.

If they're not performing their duties, why not start by bringing it up with them in a friendly manner?

Then in a firm manner.

Then tell them their jobs are at risk.

Then sack them.

That way you won't feel guilty since you gave them every chance and every warning and they were the ones that chose the outcome.

threaten them to work harder to get fired and see what happens.

4:45pm on Friday afternoon.
Call them into your office with their immediate supervisor. Inform them you are firing them and if they are or are not eligible for unemployment. State the reason and their quarterly reviews. Have a member of IT lock their computers at the start of the meeting.

Always have a 2nd person in the meeting incase one of them tries to claim you harassed them.

Is this Michael Scott?

Just grow a pair, nancy boy

Why not just send Guido to go talk to them out in the parking lot? Imply to Guido you don't want them coming back.

This. If its just general laziness maybe a few (1-3) warnings based on severity. If they keep slacking in the same area after you tell them to fix it, fire them.

If its a safety risk, fire them.

They either will understand or they wont. Don't "marry" your employees. You aren't there to be their friend, you are there to be their boss. Their job isnt to be lazy.

Lazy employees are not good for retail. I have walked right backbout of stores that are unclean or the employees are unhelpful. It loses the company money and every day you let them do a poor job its your fault.

You may want to confirm the useless part if you haven't already. Stealing credit is very common. I have seen it happen once or twice.
