I don't know what to advise him. I don't know if I should advise him.

He's been there almost two months now. The first month was training. Now he's on the phones, but based on what he's telling me, he's making too many mistakes. Of course, he is super criticial of himself, so he may not be doing as badly as he imagines.

I know he's scared he'll be fired, because he's been fired from every job he's had over the last several years. It would be a tremendous blow to his ego. So, maybe he should quit now rather than wait for that blow?

But maybe he's not going to be fired. They have a lot invested in him, with the training taking a month. And a lot of the people who started with him have already quit - which probably makes him even more valuable in their eyes.

But if he's making so many mistakes, they may just cut their losses and ask him not to come back.

I don't want him to give up too easily, but I really, really don't want him to be fire. It took him months to recover last time.
