Severance package or no?

If the employee screwed up then it has never been hard for me.
I have never had to lay any off for lack of work. If had to it for lack of work it would be hard.

you're not, but I feel so sick about this...physically sick. I've watched someone lose their life, and while that's obviously much worse, this actually is having a physical effect on me...it's very strange

That's part of it...just not the right fit. We have plenty of work, just not what we expected to have for her

The only employee I ever let go was a creeper who wouldn't leave the ladies in the office alone so that was pretty easy. His worked sucked as well.
I'd imagine letting a man esp with a family go just because of budget restrictions, cut backs, etc would be hard.

You get used to it after the first few time. Just have to bite the bullet and walk him/her out. You get used to it, sadly.
Just don't drag the shite out.

I've had to do it a few times. It's probably one of the worst parts of being a manager. Especially if they have a family to support.

No, even before I was in a managment position I would be asked to break the news to people. I dont really give a shite, if you perform well at your respected job, you will not be let go. Even if it came to reduction of force, you keep the people who are better at the job.

If you revel in stripping one's livelihood from them, then firing good people is a fun activity. Most people don't like to do it to good people, but sociopaths give not one frick.
shite happens, collateral consequence ensues, and we all move on.

No. Call them in your office.
Tell them to take a seat and watch an employee training video.
Then leave and turn on a TV where you have pre-recorded a message from yourself firing that person. Have the video end with you saying, thanks for all your hard work, security will escort you out. Have security waiting at the door when they turn around.
Go back to your office a few ins later and never see the person again.
Win/Win done deal.

If they were a good worker but not a good fit for the organization (requirements, etc) then it should be easy for them to find work they are better suited for and (in the long run) they will be happier because of it.
If they were a poor worker (which does not seem to be the case) then that is on her.

From a business standpoint no.
Posted on 8/29/14 at 10:03 am to DelU249
i had to do it once, my boss decided who though.
it sucked. it was economic.
one of my peers actually fired someone last year, whihc is unheard of at my company as we just lay them off. He has been out of work for almost a year. feel for the dude, he was 56 and no one wants to hire him. He has two young kids (adopted).

I find myself in this position regularly. It is tough to know that you are having an impact on the individuals livelihood and possibly their ability to cover their bills, but empathy only goes so far.
Keep the conversation brief and on point, allow the employee about 30 seconds to vent, then let them know the decision is final. Walk them out the door and move on with the day.

So you banged her on the boss's desk and you are physically ill at the thought she is going to rat you out. It happens, man.

If they are a good person, hard worker and "it's just one of those things"...then yeah. Of course it's hard. I also go out of my way to help set them up with interviews, recommendations and such.
Posted on 8/29/14 at 10:06 am to DelU249
For me, yes.
I've been wanting to let one of my employees go, but I just can't bring myself to do it. She is overpaid and under-qualified, but I still can't bring myself to pull the trigger.

Just be happy you work for a company that is willing to fire a person. I've worked for two now that allow dead weight and slackers to stay no matter what
