[quote=Anonymous]Be clear and direct and use as few words as possible. Do not apologize. Do not say that it is hard for you. "Due to continuing problems with your performance (or due to budget cutbacks), today is your last day with Company Name. Sally from Human Resources is here to provide you with your final paycheck, explain how you can elect COBRA health care coverage, and answer any questions. She will also escort you back to your desk where you can gather your personal things, and will walk you to the front door." Do not engage with any pushback, arguments, tears. "The decision is final." If you are willing to provide a letter of reference, you may say that. If you will not contest an unemployment claim, you may also say that. You will be tempted to overexplain or sympathize. Don't do it. You will feel terrible but you will get through it.[/quote]
