I really enjoyed this interview and found it to be interesting. It is good to know that firing people never gets easy, as I don't feel that it should. I like that he mentioned he realizes that he is causing a huge change in someone's life and that isn't easy. I think this part of any job is one of the most difficult things to do but it's life and that's what happens. I try and make it my goal each day that I will never do anything that would cause termination of my employment with any employer.
1. When it comes to firing someone, do you first follow the process of Verbal Warning, Written Warning, Final Written Warning, and then Termination? Or do you have another set of steps? Verbal, Verbal, Terminate.
2. Do you make the final decision in terminating an employee or do you consult with other people/team first? Consult with others before terminating. The hope is to find another way the employee way be utilized by the company, but if not, they are terminated.
3. What, if anything, would cause an employee to be immediately terminated? (without verbal warning) dishonesty or mistreatment of another employee
4. What are some reasons/examples of why you’ve fired someone? Embezzling money, excessive absence, not staying focused on the job and Not following company procedure.
5. Is there any specific kind of paperwork you need to fill out prior to firing and afterwards? “Reason for Termination form” and a police report if needed.
6. How easy is it for you to discipline an employee? Not very easy because they usually feel picked on.
7. Does the firing process get easier the more you do it? Not really because you know that you have
created a big change in their life that is sometimes unexpected by them. Always difficult.
8. On average how do your employees handle being fired? Usually they feel like their behavior was justified so it is difficult for them to accept.
9. If termination is needed, do you typically do it in person or via telephone? Always in person unless they have stopped coming to work.
10. Have you ever had any crazy or out of the ordinary things happen during the termination process? Not really. It has always worked out OK
11. Is termination effective immediately or do you give them a few days to finish up their work and pack up? Most of the time its immediate. However there have been times they have been allowed to finish certain things.
