You have to be willing to let people go when they become a problem for the company or they no longer fit - you will find more people who have a fresh passion and this can breathe new life into your business with new ideas and new energy.
We just discovered an employee lied about going to the ER and being hospitalized. We have solid proof to back it up. We contacted HR and they told us termination is required. We were also informed by HR to “play dumb” and go alone with her lies until she came back into work and we could fire her in person. We’re torn on how to handle that conversation.
When I got fired i decided not to remember the date of my termination so that when the date came around again it wouldn't be such a horrible memory. Walking out the door during normal working hours is really a bad experience. A waking nightmare. I lived several miles from work and I couldn't evn listen to my raidio because of my horrible feelings. Yes I made the mistakes and maybe it needed to happen but that didn't make me feel any beter.
I have been in leadership 35 years and never fired anyone. Every employee terminated themselves. The employment cycle begins when you accept an application, then it is the employer’s responsibility to be as clear as possible about job expectations, on boarding and continued training. As with parenting, children will give you behaviors you expect, if you are specific with your expectations. A phrase like “be good” has many interpretations. Catching an employee doing things correctly and pointing out that behavior is what you are looking for, means the employee will give it to you. Documentation has many personalities. Writing out a training agenda, personal goals and actually documenting behaviors that are unacceptable are ways of showing concern that you care about an employee. Confrontation occurs when you haven’t been clear with what is expected from an employee. Termination occurs when the employee knew what was expected and chose not to do the tasks. This also imitates “malicious intent” and an employee will know why they no longer have employment with your company. Ergo not firing anyone, you hired them to help you, they chose not to the work.
Sometimes it's a manager or supervisor. Some don't seem to think that they have obligations and responsibilities! Along with that having a big ego, a short fuse and a sense of entitlement can be problematic. And, occasionally they don't hire the right employee or had limited ones to choose from. Six qualities I look for in an employer are the abilities to plan, organize, communicate, strategize, have contingencies and a high level of interpersonal skills. Also, coworkers who can accept constructive criticisms, reflect upon their work and correct themselves. Then occasionally the whole group is essentially a mess across the whole spectrum!
I see the possibility of termination coming and hoping it doesn’t involve going to court or arbitration. I am guilty and i want them to make it as painless as possible without fees. I have never suffered termination before but i acted like a complete ass and want so much to leave with grace, to stay away from such toxic social behaviors at this facility. And while they have the option to seek HR my presence at this facility creates in others a passive aggressive way to horass me. And my termination will be a win win for both myself and my employer.
I hope everything worked out for you. If you are still at this job, leave. You and this company are not a fit, and there are plenty of open positions. Put in your notice, document all of your processes for your replacement, work your entire notice, and leave with dignity. No one should be miserable going to work everyday.
You could tell them “Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it’s because they sat there that they were able to do it. That’s the truth.” now heres your packet, I'm going to need your key card. Ryan Bingham
I don’t like to work really! I’m not inspired… Also, I have everything I needed so why I need to sacrifice by working in a stressful situation. I will let my husband work and me sit at home
You admit to that. Wow!! Just to think that you simply "will let your husband work" while you sit at home. I wish him all the best and much luck as he probably lets you spend HIS money.
You mean there is an HR who care about grace and dignity

This really helped! Thank you

Getting fired should not make someone feel better, but after much self-reflection, it should make you learn from your mistakes & then, DO better.
Sometimes you have to let someone go due to restructuring. In this scenario, an employee will also feel shocked and surprised. And it cannot be helped

Not always the case. There are a lot of Crappy Managers that terminate employees who are on a power trip.

So you're gonna make me feel like I was in the wrong? That is the worst.

Also when you have to let a manager and an employee the manager has not been managing go. …that will be shocking for the employee
Statistics show that over 70% of employees know that they will get fired.
Gotta love how much of a rat HR are...
It's not even mostly the problem of the employees. it's the MANAGERS!!!
Shut up Toby!
I don’t like to work really! I’m not inspired…
Also, I have everything I needed so why I need to sacrifice by working in a stressful situation.
I will let my husband work and me sit at home
Hmm. I wonder how you got to this video then.
You admit to that. Wow!! Just to think that you simply "will let your husband work" while you sit at home. I wish him all the best and much luck as he probably lets you spend HIS money.
