re: Have you ever physically fired someone?

I had to fire someone a few months ago. He wasn't listening to my warnings and how he needed to complete his tasks. He said he didn't see it coming at all which reaffirmed I was making the right decision. He's a nice person but at the end of the day it's still a business.

Used to work in loss prevention and had a couple of employees fired for theft. Didn't feel bad bc they were thief's and made me look good

Sorry. I meant just doing it on person to their face.

I'm about to layoff 50 guys the week after Christmas. I'll probably be joining them. Sucks.

Of course I did.

There is no way I could remember all the people I have fired. Some I looked forward to and some I dreaded. There will always be one that hurt me to the core. I recruited and hired a guy away from a competitor, 3 months later I had to let him go because we went off shore for all of our product. Him and his wife had just had their first child. I could barely look him in the eye when I called him into the break room to tell him. I let 30+ people go that day and he is the only one I remember from that day. That was 15 years ago.
