One of my pet hates has been necessary this week
The magazine has a higher than average turnover of staff but when you have to sack someone for extremely poor performance it is never a good thing to be on either end of for me.
Taking the bread out of someone’s mouth is for me always a hateful thing but companies rely on their staff performance and they can’t afford to carry dead weight. While I know lots of people will think directors are dead weight but they don’t see what directors do in the business to be in any way qualified to comment.
I didn’t have to give them the notice but as a director I was involved in the process as a separate company official. It’s hateful! I put in a good coaching phase if I think someone is lax, we are all distracted by other concerns but it means they have to make an effort to meet me half way.
