Episode 19: How do I fire someone?

Episode 19: How do I fire someone?

Have you ever worked with or for someone and have thought, how did they get into that position? Not in a positive way either. It’s the person you work for or with, who is incompetent, has a lack of integrity, no motivation, just kinda, is blah. They just can’t get out of their own way. And, when confronted, they just don’t get it. They seem motivated at first, but they lose motivation. They appear to care, but their actions show otherwise.

I’ve led horses to water before, and I cannot force them to drink. They are strong beasts of burden. If they want to do it, they will, if not, they aren’t drinking water. That’s this person.

So what do you do with such a person?

Well, today, the question is; how do you fire someone?

Episode 18: Stay true to a foundation

Email @ asktheshirt@gmail.com The politics of today are ugly, and it has bled into everyday life. Americans are encouraged to inflict violence against Americans. I’m not okay with this, but how do you fight it? I also know I said episode 19 in the podcast, and realized it afterwards. No one is perfect!

Giving Feedback

A trophy for everyone, because everyone does as great job, and no one deserves to have hurt feelings. This is garbage and is hurting our society and the future of our citizenry.
