Oh brother
Its sad when you can't even fire somebody because they're a pathetic worker without fear of beign sued because you weren't "compassionate to their needs as a human" blahblahblah
Quote:
“You want to be compassionate and human,” Cheddie said. She usually likes to say, “We have made the decision to end your employment” and explain the reasoning behind it.
And though managers love euphemisms in firing times, Cheddie advises bosses to can them.
“It used to be very popular to say, ‘I’m going to have to let you go’ and one day a person said, ‘Oh great, where do I get to go?’” she said. “I don’t like to use fancy words.”

Don't like to use fancy words? Like what? fired?
I think if its a layoff or something like that yes absolutely be compassionate.. but if you're a guard and were just caught sleeping on the job and the place got robbed... YOU'RE FIRED comes to mind.
