Hi ibstudios,

I understand what you said. I love when people disagree with me because I always learn from them. However, what happen with this employee is completely different.

For example, the person was 30 mins so I asked this person to be on-time. This person then said "why are you targeting me when so-and-so is always late as well?".

This person is only 5 weeks in but has an attitude to deflate responsibility and bringing others into the discussion.

Was this person right? I ask this because the other thing you need to think about is how this action will be perceived by the other employees. Will they think you treated this person unfairly? Will they resent having to take over this person's workload until you find a replacement? If so, then you may want to consider if getting rid of one person is worth poisoning your relationship with the other employees.

Ultimately, the decision is yours alone. Make the decision and won't worry about validating the decision with a random internet audience.

Perhaps a remote work setup would be better for you both.
