Why is the narratuer such a wuss?

I think most readers become increasingly aggravated with Bartleby as the story progresses.  I become increasingly aggravated with the narrator.  Why doesn't he just either fire Bartleby or get some help for him?  Obviously back when this story was written, people were less aware of mental problems, but why does this "boss" let a cukoo little clerk run him out of his own office?
