Recently we made the mistake of hiring a culture misfit in our company. The employee joined all of 10 days ago. Since we certain behavioural issues have already been reported/observed, we have refrained from handing an appointment letter to him.
Objectionable behavior: Gossiping, asking about other employee's salary details, instigating others to leave organization because he thinks they are under paid.
Unprofessional conduct:we have received 7 to 8 complaints about this guy in last 10 days. Also, my team members have witnessed his rude & arrogant behaviour. Additionally his previous company has terminated him & his relieving documents are not genuine. (We understand this is a big slip on our document verification part- we accept this and feel guilty of the same. Its also a big learning for us)
When we tried to counsel him, he said the company can ask him to leave. So when we decided to do so, his father who is lawyer, is calling the HOD of his department and threatening to sue the company.
What should be done in such a situation to protect the company from a candidate who we don't think is a good fit for the organization? How should we handle the employee's father who is threatening us?
