So your boss walks into your office and tells you to take his place from now on, do you start firing people ?

No. I am a boss, and you don't motivate with fear. you motivate by getting people to own their jobs. Give them input.

@Possibility: You ask them what they think. Figure out what they should do together. Come up with a plan, together. Then you can teach them or have them learn the stuff they don't know.

Nope. I think firing someone is a last resort. Employees are a business' most important asset, I think.

I'd be having an out of body experience because I work for myself and mostly alone. My friend helps me but she signed a sub contract which included "this is not a master slave relationship" and she's her own boss etc. So no boss, no one to fire except myself so fingers crossed I stay mentally stable and avoid firing myself haha
Possibility · 31-35, F
Lmao

I wouldn't fire people unless they are bad at job or Slacking off

Possibility · 31-35, F
Lol
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

Possibility · 31-35, F
You work for me, now make me coffee
