Careful there. As an employer, you might be sued for sexual harassment.

This thread seems to have spun off from an earlier thread in which Appa mentioned that we pay part of his salary. If you're trying to make the leap to saying that you therefore have the personal right to fire him, I'm not with you on that argument. By the same logic, Dick Cheney could fire George Bush, or any of us could fire both of them. Tempting as that might be at times, it doesn't make any sense.

If your question refers to a private enterprise in which you are the sole owner, I think you can fire anyone you want, most of the time.

It was from the HoltDad conversation.

I have never held that I pay his salary, any more than I pay the salary of the clerk at Stop and Shop or the teller at my bank. I do business with those places and those businesses use the money I spend there the way they see fit. If they hire people, they hire people and they pay the salary - not me.

It makes no sense to me to say I pay any federal employees salary.

depends on what would be in it for me. Why would you fire me and why would I want to spend my time no longer working for you?

Because you are unable or unwilling to answer direct questions.

Because you think you are being looked down upon and no one wants to feel that way on a daily basis.

Because I am just too darn cute for you.
