Perhaps this doesn't seem like a spiritual issue but it is for me.  Two months ago I hired a man for a position in my organization under my supervision.  The company moved him and his wife and small baby to the headquarter city.  Two months into this relationship, it is evident to me and others on my team, that this man is not qualified to do the job - while he has skills, the job requires skills beyond his capacity - I feel like I need to cut this short and let him go (we have a 3 month probationary period) but am literally torn about firing a man with a family that I sanctioned moving here, and especially in this economic climate - I am "desperatel;y" in need of advice on how to handle this situation - Thank you,
