Seeing it in person really drives the point home. It does. The only thing I've seen that drives it home more is being part of the process to fire someone who was a bad hire, particularly if you were also part of the hiring process that gave the wrong answer. If that individual is basically a decent person and just doesn't turn out to be very good at the job then it's never pleasant to know that you're taking their source of income away and especially to be the one breaking that news to them, however much it may be necessary objectively and professionally to do those things.
