Today I made a decision to fire one of my property managers.  Saying it out loud and typing it here is solidifying that it really will happen and boy do I feel liberated! 

I’ve been having issues with his performance for a while now.  I’ve tried to improve the situation, I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt a few times, I’ve used our “incidents” as training opportunities, but we’ve come to the final straw.  I had someone take some digital pictures of the buildings that he is managing and that was it.  We have weeds, or maybe small trees at this point, six feet tall.  I’m not interested in any excuse whatsoever.  These photos simply serve as low-hanging tangible proof of several other issues that cannot be visibly seen.  Not that I need proof, or even a reason to fire him.  He’s not an employee.  We have a contract in which either of us has a 30-day out.

Yahoo!  I can feel the life force particles coming back to me already!
