Did you call his ass out for being lazy and wasting your time?

I have dozens of these over the years - many of the people responsible have "Head of ..." or "Chief ..." job titles now.

It's not the future. Tell him not to do that. If it happens again, bring it to the attention of his manager. Because that's not what he's being paid for. If he continues to do it, that's grounds for firing.

What you're describing is not the future. It's a fireable offense.
