Give it more time. Could be that he's nervous or still settling in. It's only been a week, so I would wait at least one more before making your final decision.
Do you think it could just be because he is new? Sometimes I feel like if you give it time it all shakes out.
It's just been a week. Just give him a little more time to adjust and get to know all of you in the team. Everyone had been in the same situation and we all know that adjustment period may take a month or even months. He may be a cool guy once you get to know him well.
Empathy is vital and having a healthy working relationship with your new colleague is beneficial for everyone. I would say try to get to know him, maybe go for coffee/lunch, try to understand his experience so far, his expectations. You’ll be in a better position to assess the reason of his behaviours. Maybe not something you want to hear but - check the way you speak to him, check your tone, make sure your directions/statement are clear, make sure you’re giving him enough context when speaking. If you support him during his onboarding to the team/company, it should be a great first step :) ultimately if his behaviour is not professional you should address it as a professional, but make sure you’re not biased and you’re not enabling this behaviour
Maybe he's having a difficult time adjusting and filling in the role of someone who have probably been in that job for months if not years. Try asking him what you can do to help or if he needs help. We were all once in that guy's position. Be kind.
I understand how you feel that you've been left behind by someone you loved to work with and you may be feeling prejudice against him because of it. Just allow him some time and room to adjust and get the hang of things. It's still too early to say if he's actually slacking.
