MGMT 250 Entry #14
Recently, in class, we’ve been talking a lot about the best way to fire someone. When firing an employee, I think that it’s best done in a one-on-one manner. It’s best for the closest superior, perhaps a direct supervisor, to fire the person in a short but polite manner. I think that this is the best situation because if there are too many people in the room, the person being fired can feel threatened or attacked. The one-on-one set up is intimate and as comfortable as the situation can be. A direct supervisor should be the one to do the deed because only the closest superior can offer proper constructive criticism and can pinpoint reasons why the employment is being terminated. The firing should be done quickly and without emotion because emotions can make the situation go out of control. It’s very important to be polite, but maintain professionalism.
