Such large orders she needs to question as I am certain she needs to keep records of these purchases for budgetary reasons. Unless it is actually your company I am sure she is reporting this to someone who has asked her to report back. Go ahead and fire her. Whether or not she has a legal leg to stand on it doesn't mean she WILL NOT pursue legal action. Then go ahead and explain to your boss why you were making those purchases. You are the exact type of boss the law firm I work for LOVES! Yes. FIRE HER! ANOTHER CLIENT! She’s doing her job you numb nut!!

But in case it isn't.... If you are in the US, yes you can fire her for any reason that isn't discriminatory, or for no reason. So yes you can. Sounds like she is thinking that you are planning on sniffing the stuff rather than using it for office purposes. Those are pretty strange quantities. If she's right, then you have bigger problems than your admin asst. Your question sounds like it’s probably just a joke. But in case it isn’t….

I bet you have hundreds of computers where you work at. Next time order 50 cases of Dust Off and see if she tries to argue with you about that. And if she does, and she is ugly then get rid of her. However if she is hot, sleep with her first, then get rid of her. And make sure you use a couple of those markers on her, if you know what I mean.

Does she know how hard it is to find a job in this economy? If you're a nice boss and are asking her nicely, she should not question you! If she asks you why you need so many, tell her that her replacement requested the order. lol How come she’s being so nosy? Does she know how hard it is to find a job in this economy?

Will she be held accountable for the purchase if it is to be found unnecessary? I mean if she is asking to protect her job than no. If none of what I just said is the case then I think you should advise her that you are her boss and she is to do what you say no questions asked. Canning her? Sounds like a silly reason to me unless you just don't like her and a look for a justification. By purchasing these items is a higher (than you) power going to question her?
