How do you cope with laying someone off?

This a question to people who have done this from a position of management. Honestly, I'm really struggling today and could use advice.

it all depends on whether it is because the person is not doing the job or cut backs ,,
slackers no worries you are fired for not doing your job end of story but make sure you have done your paper work ,,, cut backs are hard no matter and you could be next, you just hav eto live with it ,,

@oldercanuck1 yeah little did I know what would come next. I eventually left that company late last year though.

@oldercanuck1 on my own. I was pretty safe in general.

@Turtlepower you leave for a better job or the one you were at was not for you ,,

@oldercanuck1 I left for a job that paid more with less responsibilities. Eventually I'll dive back into a similar career choice
