Have you ever had to fire someone?

01-31-2006, 10:47 AM

How'd you do it and how'd it go?

I think if I had to fire someone I'd gather everyone who worked for me into my office and say:

"Ok, everyone who works here raise you hand... not so fast Mr. X"

I've had to fire someone and I've had to lay someone off. The firing went a lot easier believe it or not.

The last person that I fired threw things at me, it was a bitch......

I managed for Taco Bell for 7 years, yes I fired a few people...LOL

2 that stick out in my mind when I managed for Taco Bell are first my assistant manager who I offered to give her Christmas Eve off told me she wanted to work it so I scheduled her.

I found out she had closed the lobby early which is a terminable offense so I had to fire her the day after Christmas. Stupid, stupid girl.

Then there was the time my new assistant manager caught a kid smoking pot in the back area and didn't fire him on the spot or send him home immediately so I could fire him later. The idiot didn't even call me to ask me what to do and just let him keep working under the influence.

So my solution was to give the kid a chance to quit without having to fire him. I knew since Terry did not send him home he would claim Terry was lying, so I brought him in and offered him a choice he could not revuse.
I told him he could a. Quit immediately and if he listed us as a former employer I would only state that he worked there and he left with notice.
or b. Submit to a tox screen and we would go from there.

He quit immediately...LOL

have had to fire a number of people (all professional people) over the years...it always sucks. some still carry a major-league grudge. but the most rewarding was actually one of the toughest, i'd known him for 25 years since I'd been an intern. he sent me a letter a couple of years later, telling that he was doing well, and that i had done the right thing --- if our places had been reversed, he would have done exactly the same thing that i did.

There are few things which are as bad as showing up to a Taco Bell that has closed early.

Sometimes you need a Chaulpa.

I wouldn't use "costing more than producing" while you want to be stern and firm you should keep it positive if at all possible. Unless everyone in your company has a revenue goal, don't use that.

I have had a fire a few people in my years. When I managed a Papa Johns, I had a few employees and even an asst manager stealing $ by changing orders to cancelled and keeping the money. It wasn't fun, but part of life.

I fired a guy, handed him his last pay and 2 weeks severance and he refused to leave the building. He wouldn't accept that he was fired and wanted to speak with the owner of the company. After an hour of this we determined he wasn't going to leave so I called the police and he was asked to leave the property otherwise they would have no choice but to charge him.

I've let a lot of people go... Firing designers was always far from fun because they tend to be more volatile than most... and I used to go through assistants like crazy (poor things). Perhaps I'm just not very good at hiring!

Back in my early twenties I took over a business and in the first month made 40% of the staff redundant. I didn't enjoy it at all because it's basically making other people pay for your own failure. I still remember calling a girl into my office to get me a cup of coffee: she assumed she was next on the list and burst into tears.

I have never had problems firing people for dishonesty or for not doing their job properly, but that was the only time I ever made anyone redundant.

Yeah, had to let people go many times for poor performance, constantly being late and basically never learning the job well enough to do it without holding my hand.

One girl simply didnt show up for a whole weekend then called on Monday and said she had no way to call and her boyfriend took her away for the weekend with a bunch of friends, lmao. She cried when I told her that her last check would be in the mail. Said I was being SO unfair! haha. Such is life.

One guy was pissed and wanted to talk to my boss, so I said here, go ahead and handed him the phone. Was kind of funny watching him transform from anger to frustrated to redfaced. Wasn't my fault that he was terrible; I turned out more managers for the company from my full time employees than other stores did.

Too many to remember really! Most were temp people so it's not really "firing", more of "well thanks, we're not keeping any temps on permanently this season"..

You have to make sure it's not a surprise to them. The person should be aware that you're unhappy & you just talk to them privately & tell them "it's not working out & I need to let you go". No matter what they say, just keep saying "That's all I will say, it's not working out and I'll give you a few minutes to grab your things and leave the office"

If i was that kid i would have showed up when you were closing and inserted taco's into every opening in your body, then i would have made a few new openings.. then i would have tied you up in gunny sack and beaten you with a cue ball in a sock until a color othen than red oozed out thru the holes in the gunny sack..

THEN i would promote myself to manager and eat taco's and smoke weed all day long... bwaha
