K181 05/15/20 5:28:43 PM #8:	Yes. Firing bad employees is good for both parties (to a degree). They get unemployment and aren't attached to a job they didn't like, and we drop dead weight. Not sure how many employees I've fired. Easily over 20 if you include employees that just stopped showing up and we sent notice of termination of employment as a result, but under ten for an actual face to face firing. Worst was for someone who was taken away in handcuffs as the reason they were fired was for stealing painkillers. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:939211540] in Have you e...

Cheese_Crackers 05/15/20 5:34:52 PM #13:	Not exactly the same but Ive told a former friend that I didnt want to associate with them anymore. It felt like I was firing him from my social life. I was as blunt as possible and told him that I view many of his decisions as immoral, listed some examples, explained how he was a bad friend, and that he didnt seem to have any desire to change, so it was better for both of us to move on. Too bad we had to continue living together for 2 months. EDIT: I also explained that we had different interests now and didnt have enough in common. The reasons that I approached it this way: 1, we had lived together for a few years and he always wanted to spend time together. It wasnt working for me and I knew I needed to do something to make him understand that. 2, he was clearly clinging onto the friendship for no reason other than we had been friends for a long time. He always commented that we had little in common and didnt agree on much, yet still wanted to do stuff together all the time. --- Though the fear of death is a common one, the fear of life is a more rational one. <cite>Cheese_Crackers posted [p:939211852] in Have you e...

Strider102 05/15/20 5:37:39 PM #14:	Yes. Depends on the situation. For example I once had to fire an employee who was caught on camera shooting up heroin near an exit door. I walked him out, he got pissed, I told him he was a moron and to leave the property. Felt no reservations against it. I also had to fire an employee once who missed too many days at work. She was a single mom who had a sick kid and couldn't find anyone to take care of her while she worked. I felt bad about it but the decision came from my boss. I tried to pull for her but he wouldn't hear it. So I reluctantly fired her and apologized to her. --- Last Cloudia ID: 188850453 <cite>Strider102 posted [p:939211985] in Have you e...

We're talking non-medical hospital positions. The positions I've needed to terminate employment for were custodians, security guards, cafeteria staff, and loaders. Not the most grueling or difficult work, but the pay is competitive and the benefits are decent. The people that we let go were given multiple warnings and talked to multiple times and given every possible means to improve their work quality or behavior and still never did. Sorry, that's a lack of caring about their jobs. I've never fired anyone on a single warning or without working with them to try to make the job better or understand their situation, aside from the aforementioned thief, and the work isn't really the kind of stuff where it's easy to be bad at. And some continued benefits are better than no benefits. They ultimately got fired from jobs they didn't like as the degree to which their work or behaviors sucked was so bad for such a period of time to be impossible to explain otherwise. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:939211990] in Have you e...
