<p>I have managed a team in the past. There is a lot of  pressure of trying to prevent a company from going bankrupt while also dealing with employees’ struggles.</p>
<p>Firing someone just because they’re struggling through a tough time isn’t necessarily fair. It sounds like you’ve mostly been telling him to improve, but have you asked what’s actually getting in his way? A good manager helps their team overcome obstacles, not just points them out. If you haven’t already, try working with him to find solutions. If nothing changes after that, then you’ve done your part.</p>
