Every time I hear about someone being fired poorly I think about this clip from Moneyball. Every manager should watch this

Alex you've been traded to Tiktok, this is your new chinese manager, they're expecting your call and will take care of everything

That’s it?

The first time I had to fire someone, my boss said "remember that firing isn't a negotiation." Good advice.

Whenever I let an employee go, I always keep this clip in mind and tell them they’ve been traded to the Tigers and that Jay Palmer is expecting their call

"are those my only two options?" lol

I felt 'Up in the Air' handled it better from my own personal experiences. But as I said last night HR departments in the companies I worked for handled this like pros. I guess things have changed a lot.

The first time I had to let someone go I asked for advice, and all I got back was ‘Moneyball. Watch Moneyball ‘.

@TurnerNovak So good

Fat Jonah Hill could fuckin act

I got laid off via email with an optional call with HR/the CEO if I wanted it, and that's 100% my preferred experience. My whole team got cut, so it didn't feel personal, and I wasn't forced into an awkward rejection convo where I had to perform.
