I can't believe that this person was fired by me! They must have been about to assault me! I imagined it, so it must be based on reality!

This should win an award for hardest try of rewriting the narrative.

Firing people should [usually] be hard. Regardless of their work performance, a person's job is often their livelihood and when you terminate their employment, you're taking an active role in making their life harder.

That's not to say that you shouldn't fire someone for legitimate reasons. But if you do, you should try to be as fair and generous as possible. Whining about someone saying you "lack empathy" on LinkedIn as though you're some sort of victim definitely shows a lack of empathy.

I've had to fire a handful of people in my career. I felt terrible about all but one of them and tried to make sure they got the best severance possible.

The one I didn't feel bad about stole money from poor people and was completely remorseless. He can (and did) get fucked.

I was so upset that even the cocaine and champagne didn't help.

I truly feel for the little people! I love them the way I love any of my pets!

Imagine showing up late once, and getting fired for it over a week later

CEO's words are worthless.

This is obviously some new definition of the word 'unspoken' that I have previously been unaware of.

It’s amazing the mental gymnastics ppl do to try to drum up sympathy

Feel like they had a song running through their head when this was written with the verse - chorus - verse paragraphs

Did she delete her user? I tried to find the post on LinkedIn, and while it shows up in Google searches, the link is broken and I can’t find her profile on LinkedIn.

I guess she couldn’t take the comments…

Downvoted for alternating case in the title. That shit needs to go away.
