You sound as if you're in management. If this is the case then the fact that you have to fire people on a weekly basis shows how truly inept you are at your job sir. Your main goal as a manager is to build up your team, build upon their strengths, recognize weaknesses and coach them into making corrections in those areas. If you consistently have to fire people (on a weekly basis) then you are a failure as a manager and need to reevaluate your practices as someone in leadership. Who is even doing the hiring? Why do you keep receiving under qualified personnel who, from the way you make it sound, probably have a history of bad work habits? You literally can call references before a hire is even made. I wouldn't fire you but I definitely wouldn't have you oversee any personnel if what you say is actually factual. Yes, OP does sound like an ass but so do you.
