The Right Way to Fire an Employee
By siliconindia
Sugarcoated Empathy
Empathizing with employees is good, but sugarcoating it by asking them what can you do to help them, is like hurting someone and trying to bandage them soon. Better give them an option to talk to you in case they want to know about any such thing like benefits, final payments and other such details. When you fire an employee, it is about him, and not about how to put across things so that you don't feel bad.
