I Hate Firing People

The worst part of any management position is having to let them go. Just had to fire my executive housekeeper and well it didn't go so well. Problem is, and it is partly my fault, she has family that also works at this establishment. I have a huge departmental meeting about how things are going to change around here with cuts and extra work, and I hope they all don't walk out on me. What if any advise do any of you have when it comes to dealing with the aftermath of a firing?

Just remember that if the firing was warranted, that you didn't commit the acts that got the person fired, you just held them accountable for their actions/lack of.

Even when you have no choice and it's coming down from above you're just doing your job. It's really tough though, good luck!

thanks bro...it was warranted, it just gets annoying when they make up excuses after excuses when it comes to why they shouldn't be fired.

If they quit they're only hurting themselves... if they start screwing up on purpose to hurt you or the business, make it clear that you'll fire them too.

well I think most of them understand that if I am firing the exec than I can fire anybody if it comes down to it.

We had to lay off/fire a guy Friday. Hate doing it before the holidays but he was screwing up frequently and our work has slowed down a ton.

ya, times are rough and sometimes it needs to be done...problem is she was working her butt off probably figuring that she might get laid off..problem was all her housekeepers didnt like her very much and she was costing me too much housekeeping costs

I've only fired two people... mainly because we don't really hire that many and the ones I've had have been really good.

I had to fire a guy the week before Christmas last year... it really sucked, I hated doing it, but I had no choice. He wouldn't listen, wouldn't do what we asked, and was generally just a screw-up and was making my life difficult. He was pissed, wanted to argue about it, and I ended up telling him to get out...

Sometimes you just gotta do what you're paid to do... don't feel bad about it.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
