Maybe someone forgot the golden rule: fire people on Monday mornings. Never on Fridays.

- stingraycharles 8y agoI thought the MBA handbook said you were supposed to fire them on Friday to minimize the chance they go rogue?

That random site happens to agree with my kind of thinking, so I copied that content in here: "Fire on Mondays. This lets dismissed workers start looking for a job right away. Make job offers on Thursdays. If candidates need time to think, you can give them one extra day. If you give them the whole weekend, they may find another offer. Give good job reviews on Fridays. It sets the mood for a good weekend, which can be a reward in itself. It also prevents satisfied workers from "kicking back" for the rest of the week. Give poor job reviews on Mondays. This provides employees time to work out improvements during the week, instead of stewing about them all weekend."
- ihattendorf 8y agoOne day to accept a job offer seems extremely short. If someone gives me one day to accept a job offer, chances are I'm still interviewing elsewhere and will decline unless it's my primary choice.

- JeanMarcS 8y agoI guess that’s the point, to avoid thinking time. It’s from the interviewer point of view
- usrusr 8y agoThe best candidates might come to an immediate decision if pressured that way.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y ago...yes, an immediate decision to reject an offer from a company trying to pressure them like that. Or is that what you meant?
