We lost one today

So my boss fired the girl who wasn't doing her job.
(I wrote about her previously)
It is so strange.
He has never fired anybody in the thirty years of running his practice.
We all loved her dearly but that really doesn't matter when she complained and didn't take pride in her work, which lead to mistakes that could have cost us cases had someone else not caught them.

Anyhow, it is a strange day at the office.
It's like I don't even work in the same place with all the changes around here.

Oh lord...I've fired so many people at the office that I've been dubbed, "The Terminator."

Firing people is not easy. I had to do it to my last nanny. But she understood and we are still on good terms and she still comes to visit the kids. It's never easy, but sometimes necessary. So if he hadn't fired anyone in 30 yrs. then it's probably a good thing.

All I could think of when I read your blog was the song:
"and another one down
another one down,
another one bites the dust"
sorry, that probably doesnt help

Yeah, it is bad for morale when people get fired. But, like you said, she wasn't doing her job. I guess it all depends on the way it was done -- Did he talk to her first and give her chances to improve or did he just walk in one day and give her the can out of the blue? To me, it is all in the way the blow is delivered.

Damn - can you imagine being that girl? "I'm the ONLY person my boss has EVER fired." That's gotta be good for the ego...

I know what you mean. Even if someone deserves to get fired it's sort of shocking when they do. I'm convinced that one of the higher ups at my company fires one person every year just to keep the rest of us on our toes.
