The intern is not producing code that is up to the standard you expect, and will not change it?

I saw a situation like this many years ago. The newly hired midlevel engineer thought he was smarter than the supervisor. Kept on arguing about code style, system design etc. He was fired after 6 months.

But I was friendly with him, so we kept in touch. He ended up working at MSFT for 3 times the salary.
