And what I can tell you for free is that that feeling will never go away; he will never be able to “earn his shares.”

So, if you want to eat shit don’t nibble. Let him go. It will be hard for you in the future when you have to buy back the shares from him, but, remember, there won’t be a future if you don’t have a present.

All the best.

Maybe he is not as much of a burden as you think, but only does “enough to get by” versus “excelling at something”, which I think is perfectly reasonable as a lifestyle.

Maybe you can work on a quantified feedback concept for both of you together, so everyone can have an honest and objective conversation about the topic together. With an objective feedback system he can learn about how much of a burden he is by himself and maybe even change his ways. Nobody loves to be a burden. Quantifying such things (like number of sales, hours worked, contracts subscribed, lines coded, calls made per day, whatever is important to you both) is an artform though and can be pretty tough, you’ll have to get help with this or get really creative.

If he really pisses you off and you have authority, maybe you should end the relationship alltogether. It’s like in love. It’s hard to find the right time to break up, some people never find the courage to leave an exploitative relationship.

On the other hand you could just take a deep breath, relax and see it as your way of doing carity.

Have a sit-down, tell him its tearing you apart that you cant find a suitable position for him and you dont want to ruin the friendship but that in your mind you feel it would be best to part ways.

Afterall its his shortcommings here that are the problem so make it his problem, dont carry the burdon for him. In short friends and family are for taking long walks with, not run a business. If you let it fester you can be sure the friendship will get ruined in the end and your business wont be doing any better carrying around dead weight all that time. The outcome is clear, its just a matter of timing.
