Fire with grace

Office politics

Few days ago, I had to fire one of our newest employees, it was hard decision in these slow times, but it had to be done.

She was hired based on her resume and her interview, but on her job she was not able to deliver what she promised. So I let other female employees in our company consult her and offer her help and advice on how she can fine another job.

Then later on, I brought her into my office and explained to her in great details why we had to make the decision to let her go, I talked with her at length and offered her our company resources which she could use to look for another job.

Firing someone is a really hard decision, so do it with grace.
