I got someone binned once. It was more a knocking over of the first domino in a stack that fell very quickly.
We were billing by the hour and the guy was rolling in at 11 am but billing from 6-7 am every day. He'd disappear for hours on end for what turns out we're coke deals he was doing.
He did nothing and expected us to carry him. PM would email him a task and he'd doctor it and forward it on to me to make it look like PM had emailed the task to me..
Had no intention of pulling any of his weight and expected to bill for more than us while getting us to do his work. Outing him was a joint effort but it was me who lit the fuse.
I'd do it again in a heart beat. This guy was a chancer and a risk to the project."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment
