You're Fired!

[JennyB]

Not me...I have to fire someone in about an hour. I've never done this before. I am about to take the extra Xanax that my uncle, the doctuh, prescribed for me for my recent flights. Any of you have to fire someone before? Even though this person totally deserves to be sacked, this still sucks.

You'll be fine, just make it short and to the point. At the very least you're not in the position of being ordered to fire someone who doesn't deserve it. Good luck!

You have my sympathies, J. A friend of mine runs a pre-trial service—basically, to help young first time offenders avoid repeating, as well as avoid jail time—and he's had to fire plenty of counselors. Normally pretty fucked up counselors, too. How he gets through it is beyond me.

OK, it's done, thank goodness. She of course denied everything and didn't understand what the big deal was when I received complaints from schools about her. Or why we were so upset when she yelled at an autistic boy during a presentation. And, of course, she said that my predecessor was a MUCH better supervisor. But all in all it went OK. I am so glad this is over and I nver, ever want to do this again.

I was essentially fired (resigned in lieu of termination) a month ago, so you do not have my sympathies.

So you didn't have to call security?

Awww...I wouldn't have fired you. I highly doubt you would leave a presentation because you had to go get a pedicure, and I doubt you would have yelled at an autistic boy. Well, maybe the pedicure part.

[eumaas]

I would've fired matedog.

No....we're a mid-sized not-for-profit agency, so the Executive Director took care of that. I actually think she just left on her own, but not before tossing her keycard at me and slamming the door. Did I mention this woman was a teacher for 30 years? She was THAT teacher in high school that would have made your life hell...she was one of those who probably favored the jocks and cheerleaders and thought all of the punk kids were useless druggies, stupid and/or serial killers. Hell, she was probably the staff liason for the pep club.

The more you say about this woman, the more I'm jealous you got to fire her.

You obviously underestimate my hatred for autistic children.

[matedog]

I would've fired matedog.

You are lucky I can chuckle at the entire situation now.
