Monday just gives them to much time to think about it.
I don't want somebody coming back up there and ruining my weekend.

You must be really important if you get to fire people.

Not a bad strategy. Instead of ruining one weekend, just ruin a whole week.

Move their office four weeks in a row until they voluntarily quit so no unemployment benefits.

As a manager, firing someone should be the most unpleasant part of your job.

The fact that you start an OT thread about firing someone makes you look like an a-hole.

Plus, the fact that you have some discretion as to what day to fire the person means it is not a terrible situation where the person must go immediately.

You are a dick.

Maybe he's just the guy everyone else can do without, so if a disgruntled ex-employee whacks him, ehhh.

I've been hiring and firing people for 20yrs.

I've been here ~13yrs.

I have never mentioned the words hire or fired on this board.

I like the guy but he's got to go.

Thank you drive through

He is going to politely tell the guy the division he is heading up is closing down so they don't need him anymore. If he raises the issue that he doesn't run a division I'm sure he will say that's what makes this termination so hard on all of us.

That’s fine. Just a weird OP.

I’ve done a little firing in my day and even when they deserve it, it’s an unpleasant transaction.

You seem like a dick, still.
