[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a senior manager who’s never had to fire an employee for cause until now. I have no doubt it’s the right thing to do but it feels rotten. The employee is creative, committed, and hard working but struggles to meet deadlines, collaborate well with others, often shows poor judgement, does not apply feedback, and disrespects my role as her supervisor. Several managers have warned me not to trust her, and while I’ve tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, she has betrayed my trust on several occasions. Although I have ample cause to fire her, I’m having a very hard time with this decision. She’s had a tough life and it’s about to get much tougher. For those of you who’ve done this before, how do you separate your feelings from your duty? [b]Does it get easier[/b]?[/quote] No, it should not ever be [i]easier[/i] to fire someone. If it has, you've lost your humanity and should consider a new line of work. [/quote]
