I hope this isn't a trend, but apparently ppl are being fired by email now... How pissed would u be if u were fired by email? I would be super pissed.
I'll be honest, if I was that employee, I would feel extremely insulted and offended by such a gesture. People take the convenience of the internet way too far sometimes, and this is definitely an example of it. Whatever happened to the 5o'clock on Friday afternoon firing?
I don't know how I would feel about it. I think it's better than what my place does- Your immediate manager tells you to come speak to him. You walk into a room with the human resource manager & your managers-manager. You sit down they tell you your fired and all that. They have a couple boxes, they walk you to your cubicle. They watch you clean out your desk. They escort you out of the building and off the lot. Like you can't even stop and say goodbye to anyone... So e-mail doesn't seem too bad
Wow, couldnt you really fuck someone up, make an email up, and send a very convincing letter, and fire them hahaha!
that's some bitch shit. if i'm to be fired, then i want my boss to man up and say it to my face, yadadi mean?
Radio Shack was the company that did this first. I haven't heard of anyone else doing it. Apparently they called in all the people that were being let go for a big meeting and let them know they would be recieving emails so they should be prepared and all. At first I thought it was a bad idea, but its like what the other guy said. Its better than being escorted off the property. They let them take their time and get everything together. And then say good bye to friends and all. So it could have been a lot worse.
I would rather be fired by email rather than driving all the way to work just to be told to leave. You should copy and paste that shit and mail it right back to the manager.
