"The thought of paying someone I was forced to fire because he (or she) is incompetent burns me up inside."
I think we all hate working with incompetents, but if someone working for you is just simply not competent for the job they were hired for, that's more your fault for hiring them in the first place than their fault, IMO.
And if you're running a company and you hire enough incompetents for this to be an ongoing issue of frustration for you, that would seem to point to you being incompetent yourself.
- rrwhite 13y agoMy assertion is that you should provide severance in all cases. I chose to attack the most contentious case (poor performance) where one might think not to provide it to prove that point. I didn't mean this to imply that it's a regular issue I have to deal with :) PS Priority #1 post any firing is a careful review of the hiring process that got you there.
