Get Rid of the Bad Apples

We had a low level C programmer at one of the start-ups I worked at, He had the most explosive temper I have ever seen. He would throw monitors across the room. The next day they would have a new monitor for the guy.<p>They finally gave him an office figuring that would at least contain his outburst to a room, but alas even an office could not contain him. He started kicking the door open and chucking crap onto the wall outside his door.<p>Smashing crap up in his office and having a good go at it. Anyway, it was a certainty, anyone that was put on his team had about a 3 week window before they where out of the place. Better C programmers than he was came and went because they would not let this guy go. I have pretty thick skin, so I just found it amusing when he would go on his tirades and he and I got along pretty well, but man if I had ran that company I would have fired him after the first monitor flew. There is just no place in business for that kind of crap.
