One of the most frequent topics for questions at www.AskDaveLorenzo.com is Firing People.  Business owners often want validation for their decisions when they have decided to let someone go. (Incidentally, I hate that term – let go.  It is not as though the person wants to leave in the first place and you are going to finally “let them”).

Most of the questions center around firing someone because they made a mistake.  First mistakes, repeated mistakes and good intentions are all referenced as business owners, leaders and managers look to make themselves feel better after a tough conversation.   

Keep in mind that you need to check all local and federal labor laws before you make a decision on discontinuing employment.  It is best to consult an attorney for advice on this topic.  I am not an attorney and this blog should never be used in lieu of the advice of a licensed professional. 

Here are my general thoughts on mistakes and the consequences for the employee who makes them.
