Firing Employees
Last class we talked a lot about firing employees. We used the Tom Mendola case as an example. The class was split into two groups, and each was given a side to take as whether to fire Tom or not. You can tell that most of the class wanted the side of firing him because the case seemed pretty obvious. The side that defended Tom did a good job though and brought up many good points, however, he should still be fired no matter what. As long as all of the warnings, tardies, and other mishaps were documented, there should be no problem with it. I know that most people saw why he should be fired, but people need to remember that it can be very hard to fire someone. Before you fire someone, you need to plan out what you are going to say and do. We did talk about this at the end of class which I thought was good because that is the hardest part. Firing someone is not that simple. Sometimes, you can plan everything out perfectly, but when it comes down to it, sometimes people just can't fire other people. And that is something you cannot teach.
