As a long-time manager, I’ve written a lot about how firing an employee is one of the toughest and most difficult things a manager ever has to do.
But if you are going to be a manager, it’s also one of those unpleasant duties that, as they say, comes with the territory.
I once worked for a guy (lets call him BB for the Big Boss) who had more than 300 people under his supervision, and he bragged incessantly about how he had never had to fire anyone. It was a nice story, but totally untrue because BB simply got around the problem by delegating that duty to another manager — even when it came down to firing someone who directly reported to him.
