One day he pissed off my senior technician (who was a minority) one too many times and he literally drug the young man into my office (which was a house).

The young minority man "went off" on me and leaned across my desk ....... I lost it and literally threw him out of my office and told him he was fired and to never set foot on my station again........

See, that was back in 1968 ....... however, the next day, the personnel manager called me and told me that I didn't really have the authority to fire a minority without building a case through documentation, but, that, he would take care of that.

Ahhh.......yes, the good old days ......

I tried my best with the guy. The other guy I trained all year long just got a promotion about 5 minutes ago. So I don't think it was on me.
