Cascio wrote Chapter will provide guidance on "How do I fire people legally and humanely?"
I started my career in HR as an employee relations specialist. I advised managers on disciplinary actions - including terminations. I advised employees who were under the threat of discipline or termination on their rights and responsibilities. When I became a supervisor, I disciplined employees and terminated several. Several employees I terminated were supervisors. I worked the termination of two supervisors in the contracting function. The two supervisors were abysmal managers who made their staffs miserable. The only humane action was their termination for the benefit of the people who had to work for them.
If you have terminated another person, do you believe you acted "humanely?" If you have been terminated as a result of downsizing or corporate restructuring, was the action managed "humanely?"
