What am I doing wrong?

I co-own a small, growing business. We have been in business for 10 years. In the past few months, one of our long term employees has recently been working at home. This employee is mad at several people at our business and does not want to see them. This employee wanted to talk with (at) me about concerns, so we did. The employee admits to anger issues and claims to go to counseling a few times per week. They said they like the work but don’t want to see the other employees because they are mad at them. This person was also in a leadership role and has walked away from it, leaving the grunt work to me and the co-owner. However, when we step in, this employee screams at me. For the last few years, I have been uncomfortable around this person because of outbursts at me and regarding how we run the business. I am uncomfortable around this person and have limited my contact in the past year. This person is very good at the ‘work’ part of the job, but intense mood swings can run from being polite to being dismissive, to screaming at people. This person makes far more money than anyone else employed at our business. It would be good if the employee left on their own, but I suspect they are forcing my hand at termination. There are serious mental/mood and often attitude issues in play. If (when) this person does go, the business may suffer some in the very short term, but employee morale is better when that person is not onsite. I think things would improve. Our business is in a niche field and this person is very skilled, even so, we would go on successfully as a business. Some of the other employees have stepped up during his absence to get control of the responsibilities this person has dropped. I plan on being onsite when this employee sneaks in after hours to pick up the next paycheck (can’t mail it because they do not want me to know currently address). Writing this, I can see how ridiculous this must seem. The other co-owner is frequently on the road and not onsite. Your thoughts on this situation and as a female dealing with such a volatile, unstable male?

1 year ago I interviewed for a company made it to the 4th last interview . I rescheduled the last interview 2x because I was sick but I had to suck it up and still go sick otherwise my opportunity would pass . i ended up bombing it bc I was too sick and I could not reschedule for a third time I applied for the same job again , do you think they will give me a second chance if I explain I was sick the first time ? I executed every interview before that

The statue of a slave owner was on the grounds of the first. I didn't think too much into it.

It is work done, that's why money is coming to it. It's a professional contract. Just misusing a psychological contract is not on. It's immoral.

Will AI Take Your Job? Not so fast… We’re hearing a lot of noise about AI taking over the workforce. But a recent study from MIT shows it’s not happening as fast or as broadly as we might think. While some tasks can be automated, most aren’t cost-effective for companies to replace, yet. That gives you time to adapt, upskill, and stay ahead. In my latest newsletter, I break down what this research means for you, how to protect your role from automation, and why human skills still matter more than ever. ? Read it here! ?
