Discipline and Termination
The last topic that we discussed in class this semester was discipline and termination. I can imagine that it is very difficult for a manager to have to discipline an employee, and even more difficult to terminate an employee. Such a situation can be upsetting in many different ways. For the employee, losing one’s job is clearly demoralizing and can have emotional and financial consequences. For the manager, it is difficult to have to experience the employee’s grief, to know that the employee may suffer emotionally and financially from the experience, and also to realize that hiring the individual may have been a bad decision in the first place. I can only hope that my career in management will see few such situations.
