3. Has his role in the company been clearly defined?
4. If you can't afford to hire someone, how can you afford to keep him?

1. He does this a lot. He's one of those guys who never seems to just do something his employers tell him, but rather give an excuse of why he shouldn't do it the way we told him and why he should do it another way. Makes things take longer than they should.
2. He's been right about some things but other times he's said things with confidence that were actually very stupid.
3. Yep, he read the job description we gave him and he knows exactly what he needs to do.
4. I'm going to the Asia Adult Expo in Macau in August and so far this employee has been involved in our preparation for the trip. He's also worked a lot on the first sites we're building. As of now we have nobody that could be ready to replace his position at a moment's notice. It's not a budget concern why we can't fire him now, though.
