Had to let someone go today.

It's really bumming me out more than I thought it would. He's a good guy.

 

[chewyxrage]

For what reason? That pretty much alters how I feel about terminations. If they were being a tool, fuck 'em.

 

[mrplunkey]

Reason?

Lack of performance. Poor (in my opinion) attitude. Just wasnt a good fit for what were doing.

I felt bad because when we started our firm I had brought him over from my previous company (he and I worked together occasionally before). Were building a company from the ground up and he was still stuck in that Fortune 100 mindset I guess.

I'll take the job. Im not willing to relocate so I will be working from home so you can't judge my physical performance but my work loads will speak volumes.

Did he do a 90-day plan? Was he on any sort of formal program?

 

[75th]

Yes. Wasnt a shock to him, and it was amicable. Doesnt mean it was fun.

 

[wootoom]

Was it Sully?

What happened to Sully? I let him go

 

[PICK3]

Did you tell him, "I must break you"

That's because you're too cheap to hire anyone to help make smoothies...

When I got my first management promotion at CW I had to fire 4 people on what was basically my first day on the job. That sucked.

 

[WoodyO]

I just fired one out in the ladies restroom

Loan fraud and lack of production.

Agreed. The Bob's are hilarious as is that whole movie. Michael Bolton is a great character.

My sister works for Deloitte...she told me she's dropping the axe on 50 people over the next two weeks. Don't believe Obama's bullshit; it's bad out there...very bad.

 

[smurf2]

Layoffs/workforce reductions suck. I had to lay off an entire department and it was painful.

but when it comes to firing people, well, lest we not forget, people actually fire themselves.

unless you got crappy managers who screw up and lay blame on the employees and then fire them just they can save their butt and lay the blame on someone else.

Office politics are at an all-time high nowadays. It's a warzone out there among the office fatties.

true. but in my experience it takes more than just the manager to actually get approval to fire someone. i.e HR and directors too. there's quite a bit that goes into firing someone when you have an HR dept running things in your company. like, 85 million chances to get it right before you can actually drop the ax.

just another reason why I'm glad I'm not in management any longer.

I've seen managers who were on a full on campaign to get someone fired. Making their lives miserable, giving them work they can never do, force them to work long hours, finding ways to blame them, etc. And let's not forget shady cheap companies where top management encourages managers to find ways to fire people to save on unemployment.

It's disgusting. The stuff i've seen in offices in america makes me so hate the corporate office monkey structure.

kids: When parents ask what you want to be when you grow up - Don't say office worker. That's what most of u wind up becoming anyways.

[lartinos]

I have had people call HR on me trying to get fired and everything. Just because people get jealous of you if people think you are cool/funny and may take their job.

Cisco bought Tandberg and merged all their support to India, hence why I no longer work with them, now I work designing 7 eleven remodels, sooooooo boring
