Have you ever fired anyone from their job?

I do that all the time . When people chose to be rude, insubordinate, foul mouthed , or incompetent to the point that I am aware of it .., their ticket gets punched.

Yeah. And you're right it's not a nice feeling.

Yes, I've had to a couple of times. No, it's not easy. But I need to remember that my priorities are the business, and if he/she is costing the business money and isn't getting the help I hired him/her for, then there's no choice.

When laying people off, I could empathize.
Firing them, on the other hand, they [b][i]"asked"[/i][/b] for that. Most people don't get fired without prior warning; they knew that sh*t was coming LOL

It does feel bad, but the fact is it's nothing personal, the business has to come first..

Yes. I didn't enjoy it, but he had broken rules that meant he had to be fired.

Just remember the business comes first

Yes.Not nice but it is necessary.Underperforming,bad attendance,late,inaproppriate behaviour all need dealing with.

yes, and it wasn't even because of anything she'd done. I felt like total crap for having to do it.

Yes, especially when it’s not performance related.

It really depends on why.
