Questions

He's a great guy but isn't at the senior engineering level he was hired for. Other engineers have to rewrite his code, he takes 5x as long to get things done and it's just hard on all of us so I need to let him go, but he's off this weekend for a week going away for a wedding. Is it better to "pull the bandaid" and get it done before he goes or wait until he comes back? He's in an at-will state so all legal/HR issues have been covered.

I have to disagree with most of the others.

Remove this guy Immediately.

There is ALWAYS a "holiday, sickness, death, marriage, typoon or some other excuse.

Your team is everything, your production and quality will all come down to your weakest link.

Also i assure if you can already see that this engineer takes 5 times longer, then you are paying him 5 times more then you need to. This guy is bleeding you dry.

This in not the 80's or 90's - people move on and change jobs every few months. Most jobs are contract based anyway. Dont get suckered in. I might sound cold, but this is experience, i have given so many people the benefit of the doubt but the trut ish some people have a bad work attitude, and those people have no passion to work towards your goals.
