[font="Tahoma"]It would be wrong to fire him. The article puts across that he does a fine job at what he does. There's no mention of him being a extremely hard to get along with guy, he isn't destroying all relationships in sight. He just asks dumb questions, and maybe doesn't have what it takes to be a manager, but who cares. If he's doing the job he needs to be doing, and will do the things he doesn't like to do if you tell him he has to, then he's fine for the position.

To expect him to be perfect and never ask a dumb question, and like everything he has to do is crazy.

Firing should be for incompetent people or 'nasty' people (who crap on other people).

I sure wouldn't want a manager that would fire me for asking dumb questions,

I wouldn't last long.

And not everybody needs to be management material to be a good employee.[/font]
