re: Firing people: High stress project, you gotta go

Perhaps you aren't the supervisor you think you are. I have performed at my job with new hires and 10yr vets.

It's about motivating and understanding strengths and weaknesses.

I had a new guy who wasn't great at selling and computer work so I worked with him but I didn't need to on physical stuff. With my veteran he is a monster at selling and computer but can't do the physcial aspects so I cover for him. At the end of the day I hit my metrics and get the praise.

While you fire these people and hire new ones you should also reflect on what you could have done to be a better leader and what you need to improve on.
