Although they were not my direct employees, I’ve had to walk to contractors out after being fired. One for failing their drug text and one for doing some unethical crap. Kind of awkward, but went easier than I expected both times

I am the hatchet woman at my office. Everyone knows it is not my decision when it is done. I have been hugged by people let go. The other day someone I previously fired sent me a business card for his new job. I told him I thought he would do well. He said "I knew you would say that". I meant it and he knows it.
They usually call the corporate office and scream at the decision makers after since I am just the messenger.

I had to fire a guy on Tuesday of this week. Although I would have preferred to do it face to face, the way this had to be done was over the phone, along with HR on the line. It was justified. This is a guy that had several personal struggles the last 6 months and I went to bat for him hard and saved his job twice. I began asking him a few weeks ago for production reports but I knew this was coming, just didn't know what was going to be the final straw. He never would provide the reports on his own so I retrieved them myself and his production was quite pathetic. Then, due to some personal issues again, he missed several days of work without a viable excuse and no leave left so I put him down for Leave Without Pay and he started an uproar about it. It was the right decision and it was his own fault his paycheck was severely affected. I filtered everything through HR because the play a huge role in the company I work for and have to be involved in everything. They totally had my side and we called and fired him. He texted me later asking me to bring his stuff to him that was at his desk. Screw that, I boxed it and shipped it. I'm not bringing that crap to him and getting ambushed over a few coffee mugs and headphones. While I wish it wouldn't have turned out that way, he had more than enough chances so I don't feel bad for it.

My first job with people under me I had to fire one of the people under me which was a grandmother. She was in her 60s. She did my job in the interim before I got there so from Day 1 it created kind of a power struggle where I was constantly being undermined but it was obvious once I got there how I was lightyears better than her at the job.
That's not why I let her go, I let her go because she sucked at the job and the person who hired her didn't do a good job interviewing her because she had no idea what she was supposed to be doing or any of the basic fundamental concepts of the position/industry. It wasn't an entry level job.
The issue is that she was a really nice sweet caring lady who everyone loved. I knew her firing was imminent when her annual review was coming up and she kept talking about selling her house and buying a new one. I advised her at the time maybe its best to hold off on that.

Most times the person being fired already knows it's coming, they want out almost more than you want them out. I used to do it on a Thursday afternoon around 4:15.
My BIL worked for a company in HR and would have to do the layoff..... he was good at it in terms of how he handled it with the employees. He had a professional spiel and approach to it. He would go out afterwards and get drunk at a bar to purge his mind about it. He said firing was easy, laying someone off though, was hard
