Firing people SUCKS. And anyone who tells you that they take pleasure from it shouldn’t be doing it.
It’s the absolute worst part of any manager’s job. Sure, there are exceptions. An employee sexually harasses, or steals, or assaults someone? I’m not feeling badly about their termination. But otherwise, it’s awful having to communicate to someone that they no longer have a job.
The first person I ever fired broke down in tears and begged for another chance (even though he was at least on his third). He earned his termination, and I still felt completely awful about having to tell him.
Kate Bischoff inspired today’s post with her difference of opinion yesterday, blogging that she likes firing people.
Like or dislike, if you’re in management or HR you will have to fire someone eventually. Thus, today I offer five helpful do’s and five helpful don’ts to help ease the pain of the process.
Come see what we’re building in the world of predictive employee scheduling, superior labor insights and next-gen employee apps. We’re on a mission to automate workforce management for hourly employees and bring productivity, optimization and engagement to the frontline.
