Have a guy working for me in marketing. He markets alright, but its all pretty self serving and I am seeing little return in the bottom line.

He has turned into a politically ambitious person and has all my contacts. I have been in business 30 years so he couldn't do detrimental damage, but he does seem like he would be the type to bad mouth, sabotage etc. my business, because frankly he doesn't like many there.

What are my options to minimize the damage if I let him go? I could have him sign an agreement of confidentiality and non solicitation. But would that really help?

You could always try and help him find a better job elsewhere

Contact a lawyer

you'd have to offer him severance compensation in return. The best thing to do is just cut him loose and move on. I've known many sales types through the years who thought they could take their customer base with them, but if the company does a good job with it's clients, few actually do.

The key is, however, if you are really worried, don't let him linger. Have his personal stuff packed up, secure everything that is business related (computer, business cards, quote files, etc.), and see him to the door.
