Should I fire this intern?

I’m a partner at a hedge fund. Felt bad for the intern, his performance has been terrible but I could tell he’s trying his best. He seems a bit depressed too, told everyone about his failed hockey career.

Anyway, I’m in a good mood and decide to invite him for a beer. As I reached out to shake his hand, he awkwardly put his hand up to do one of those “bro” handshakes.

I was gonna fire him anyway due to his social ineptitude and poor performance, but I feel like I should talk to HR and accelerate it?

You will never know your limits, unless you push yourself past the imaginary lines you have drawn in the sand.

Did you pat him like you would a golden retriever or a mentally challenged person?

The least believable part of story was somebody reaching UP to shake your hand

Just felt bad for the guy. My wife knows his Mom, and asked for a favor in hiring him and giving him a chance to focus away from the failed hockey stuff.

Yeah honestly the performance is one thing and I MAY be able to let it slide if he had lights out social skills but the guy can't even handle a simple handshake lol

Imagine if he ever had to meet a client - I get its a family friend but too risky IMO to keep a guy like that around - put your business first and gas him ASAP

You should except that he mogged you into oblivion and not retaliate like a Homer because he was once better at hockey than you were.

Give him a shot elsewhere/different role? This is clearly a favor you're doing, so give it a sold go
