It depends greatly on the situation. How long has this old dude been working for the comp? If companys want loyalty they also have to show loyalty. Workers are are not cattle they are people...I have been in both situations I owned and managed a shop and now I work for a brokerage And trust me when the "brass" start bitchen about "speed" or even about other peoples performance all it usally does is **** me off more and do less. Is the old dude trying or is he slaking...if hes just lazy and slakin then yes something should be done but if he is trying then thats all he can do. This world is more than the bottom line and profit. As soon as biss start to realize this they will also prosper more

well its best to be polite about it i guess. we had a guy we was decent at his job, but he complained sooooooooo much it was rediculous, we were about to fire him (it wasnt funny anymore) and he decided to quit anyways.

Jason, your poll sucks. FIrst of all, the other shouldn't worry about his pay or his work ethic because they work for themselfes and he works for himself. Nobody is gonna benefit if either people's pay is cut or raised. They might not like it, but SO WHAT? LOL
Second, don't fire the guy because the others a pissed. Fire him if he's doing a poor job. If you decide to talk to the guy about it, don't tell him you're worried about the others, tell him you're worried that HE isn't doing the best job he can, or that it just isn't good enough.
And cut.

MY OUTLOOK:
Your paid to do a job. If you work at a company that is on the water and you cant swim so you insist you have to stay on land FIRED!
If your too old and slow to do the job, even if your a nice guy, profits and production matters FIRED!
Granted I dont think its the others workers business on the older guys pay, but they are smart enough to figure out, you work you get raises right...?

Give one week to improve his job performance in a _measureable_ way. The more professional you are with him, the more serious he knows you are about it. But I wouldn't just fire him without at least letting him know that it is coming if he doesn't meet performance goals.
