Many years ago I did. It was hard the 1st couple times. I really beat around the bush before getting to the point. After a while I realized I was just wasting valuable time and started doing it like any other job task, quickly and efficiently.

It is always difficult, but most people do it to themselves. If you lay out the rules and they continually violate them, then it is their own fault for being stupid.

Unfortunately, I've had to a few times. Its always a last resort after talking to them, working with them, retraining, etc. Its always difficult because that is their livlihood, but I have to do what is best for the company.

yes, many times. attitude, poor performance, dishonesty, punctuality, attendance, you name it...most of the time it was not difficult...i gave people many opportunities to save themselves. the only time i ever felt bad about it was if i had to let someone go that couldn't do the the job and they had done their best.

I'm not in a position to fire someone per se but I have significant sway with my manager. I reamed one guy out yesterday for slacking off. I was absolutely tired of him sitting in his chair as everyone else around him was busy working. He's a temp at my company. I told him I just had to make one phone call and he wouldn't be back tomorrow. I also told him that I knew how important it was to him and his family that he had the job and that I simply couldn't understand what he was thinking by risking losing it. He rather impressed me this morning with his productivity. I really wouldn't want to make the call but he's with us for a reason and it's not to watch us work.
