Tear Em 'Up

The drinking on the job is all you need to know...dump him or the problems will continue to escalate and they will ALWAYS reflect on you as the employer.....just had to do that with one of my Djs after a drinking (getting drunk) incident at a club involving "forgetting" to pay his tab at the end of the night two weeks in a row. I covered them, he worked it off the next weekend and now is unemployed...alcohol is not EVER an excuse, it is ALWAYS the problem.
I found out tonight, at his family party he got so tanked he was vomiting outside the venue. Another member of his family finished the night, and packed up my gear. Both of which to me are Bozo no-nos....Its going to be an ugly talk I think......

It sound's like he doesn't respect you is he really your friend? look i deal with people all the time. if he is not doing his job i know you like him as a friend but YOU have to do your job as an owner or manager and be candid and let him know what he has to fix(drinking and the broken part) if he gets mad oh well its your company what are you going to do if he ruins you? if he is a good employee or friend he will say im sorry and he will fix the problems.

I wasn't going to comment on this subject actually but... if he hasn't already come forward to apologise and offer to make good any damage caused I think we know where this should be going regardless of his drinking habits.

Hy Terry,
this is a awful situation for you, damned.
Is it possible your friend had problems with the alcohol?
I often drink much than one beer, but it sounds like a problem.
Maybe that is the hole problem.
Tell him as a friend he must go for help, then the collaboration can go on!
Maybe he hear you but don't understand you.
If he is a normal drinker like me, hehe, i think he can't be your friend!
Friends respect each other and good friends can talk over all.
I broke with a freind of mine for a couple of years and we don't seen us until last november on a friend's party.
OK, after two beers we talk about our problem and find out, we are kids.
Now i don't see him often, but when it's all right!
Maybe you and your friend need distance each other.
Sorry to hear that!
Best wishes

Fire him
It pays your bills, its your livelyhood.
if he was stealing from you would you hesitate?
I realise he is a friend, but maybe now he has got to the point where the balance has tipped and he thinks you need him more than he needs you. So he is no longer a friend really.
But whatever you decide, good luck

Hi Terry,
I haven't a problem with club DJ's having a couple of beers as long as it doesn't affect their performance. As far as functions are concerned it's a definite no no. Totally unprofessional.
From reading this it seems the trust element needs to be examined. Using the gear without your permission is not what a friend would do. I have been DJing in various scenarios for 25 years and have seen it all!
Whatever the outcome, I hope it all works out.

its a simple cost-benefit analysis
it appears to me as though he is costing you more in emotional and mental turmoil (including actual equip damage) than it is worth to keep him on the squad. this is especially true if he did it during an even in which your policy states that it will cost nothing to the user, i.e., family is free. this means that not only is he using yo shit-he breakin it-and he aint replacin it. dealbreaker.
how often will you see this guy if you get rid of him, how will he react if there is an encounter after the layoff, these are also calculated in the c-b anaylsis. if you fire him and then see him in the club and he runs up on you....
it looks to me that if i was in your shoes i would TELL THAT FOOL TO KICK ROCKS .
p.s. the Indian/Chinese comment above from the fellow with I believe a Jamaican flag was inappropriate
