If you were a manager and wanted to fire somebody would you go up and tell them right away

are you allowed too? if they are trouble the sooner they are out the better

Here we do it this way

1st step: On the spot coaching
2nd step: 1st verbal warning
3rd step: 2nd verbal warning
4th step: Formal coaching session
5th Step: Warning letter
6th step: Performance improvement plan (PIP)
7th Step: Dismissal

all way to skip is if its insubordination or sexual harrassment or other crime

Just performance issues and if if you know they're being a prick on purpose we can't fire

I don't think firing someone is something anyone really "wants to do". It's expensive to hire and train someone else to do a job.
