Can you reverse George Costanza the person you let go? "Fired you? What?"

Call the person you fired and ask her why she hasn’t shown up for work.

I'll bet the person you let go is getting a kick out of your predicament

Almost as unprofessional as hiring a replacement and then firing someone.

Some people stink at their jobs & need to be let go. Addition by Subtraction is

50% productive is still better than 0% productive while finding replacement

You didn’t let the person go BEFORE you hired their replacement?

7/7/22 9:57am

Did you read the post? We did hire before we let someone go.

I think a lot of posters here have never owned a business or had to lead a team.

I am really surprised at some of the responses. Odd to me

I think people are mostly laughing about how an employer was screwed.

Nah, most just realize businesses screw employees ALL THE TIME
