He's young and probably has not had a good employer yet. You need to take that role so he starts developing good work habits that he carries forward for the rest of his life. If he doesn't take your advice then let him go.

I don't mean to preach but I've seen this happen far too many times lately.

I have had a talk with him about it now and that's what he had told me. That is why I am asking what you all would do if in my shoes and why I explained the deal so you all see if from my point of view.

What I think I will do is see if he shows up to work on time tomorrow and if he does I will have a long talk with him and explain how this cant keep this going and that I would have to let him go.
