I work at a fairly big hospital nonunion and the way they dismiss people to me is totally embarrasing , they call you to your directors office and with security there they fire you and security follows you all the way to your car :oops: i understand why , but why not just call you at home and tell you then instead they don't they wait for you to come to work and then give you the pink slip .....By the way i'm not the one who got canned but someone i know did this past Friday ...

Some prick must have seen it in a movie and thinks this is a professional way to act...

as an HR person I think it's the face to face that they think people need

plus it's an opportunity to judge if the person is likely to retaliate or hurt themselves



would you want your girl to dump you over the phone?



the security piece is sad and not always necessary but it's for everyone else's protection?

esp the assholes making the decisions

Is there a good way to fire someone?

Everyone probably has their own way to look at it I am sure but I would think the most impersonal and worst way to fire someone would be to call them and tell them they are fired. I have let go of a number of people and always did it face to face and was open to discussion or fine if they walk out w/o any further discussion.

I dont work in a business where walking someone out or calling security is necessary but that would indeed be embarrassing. (If policy demands what choice would they have?)

Any way you slice it firing someone is an awful thing to have to do -- and you know that no matter how you feel about it the person losing their job feels worse. (There have been people I wanted badly to not work at my company any longer and it still was not enjoyable to fire them.)

And this is why they have security there.

A friend of mine worked at a place where when they were letting people go you would get called to the manager's office then marched past your desk to colect your stuff & escorted off the permises. When my friend was made redundant her manager knew how horrible that was so she sent my friend an e-mail to meet her at the cafe downstairs, bought her a coffee, gave her the news told her to wait there in the cafe, asked her what personal stuff she had at her desk & organised one of the other woman to collect it & take it down to her so she didn't have to do the 'employment walk of shame'.
