When I was a kid, my sister brought home a female dog from the market parking lot. We named her Colleen and fell in love with her right away. Because spaying wasn’t a thing back then, we soon had puppies as well! My parents weren’t so delighted with these little gifts, however, and we soon found ourselves crying at the Humane Society as we said goodbye to the entire litter. Breaking up is hard to do!
As a manager, if you’re like me, you probably cringe at the thought of having to fire someone. Also, if you’re like most employers, you’re basically a kindhearted person who gets attached to your staff, and the thought of hurting them hurts you. But sometimes, an employee fails to meet the demands of the position, and for the good of your organization, you just have to make a change. Here at Amtec, we are often asked by employers for our advice on the best way to let go of an employee who just isn’t working out.

Breaking up is hard to do, and often, there’s no perfect fix. Sometimes, you’ll just have to choose the best option available. While we at Amtec do familiarize ourselves with the laws regarding hiring practices, we’re not attorneys and don’t profess to give legal counsel. But we have been doing this for a long time and can help guide you toward a safer path. What seems compassionate isn’t always truthful or safe, what’s difficult doesn’t always need to be condemning, and what’s smart isn’t always what’s fair. Every employment situation presents unique pitfalls, and you must take into account the entire picture before choosing the best solution.
