What Style JOB FIRING would you prefer

[Little6pack]

TRUMP STYLE (EXIT ASAP)
or
A probationary period style. (if you don't improve in 1 month you gone)

The probation period not only allows you to find another job without a gap in income, but also gives you time to exact particularly unpleasant vengeance upon all those who've been begging for it in the office, shop, yard, whatever.

I am going to respond on this, add in my 2 cents worth, but not while I am at work.

"I AIN'T WORKING HERE NO MORE." taking my ball / truck and going to go play/ trucking some where else. TRUCKING AIN'T for SISSIES

If I were to judge by your posts, I'd think that trucking is for retarded greaseballs. Perhaps you'll change your name to frankunderjagermeister?

Being an employer I like to keep it short and sweet....

GET OUT OF HERE, YOU JUST QUIT!!!!!

After 30 years in the construction industry I know exactly what kind of notice I get when an employee leaves.

Too bad the truck driver that delivers your buick parts does not know you said that!
His responce was,
a quote(title) of a (Johhny Paycheck?) song from the early 80s.

I tried to make it clear that I was most definitely not slamming everyone in the profession. Also, I'm all too aware of the song, I've heard it many times at work and wondered how many people over the years it's inspired to just walk out.

I don't think that too many places anymore give you an early warning or a probationary period for firing. I think that they generally do for laying you off. However I am used to working in the aerospace industry, and things might be a little different. There is also a big difference between a "Fired" and a "fired for just cause". Also, whether the state that you work in is a "At will" state makes a difference. Most states are "at will" states today. In other words, they can fire you "at will", without cause or reason. Companies generally fire at will only when there is no recourse, and they fire everybody in the company, otherwise they open themselves up for possible discrimination suits, and other things that they would rather not go to court for. Why do companies fire? Ever seen a good worker fired, even though they lacked a good reason?. People are generally fired because in most states, maybe all, when an employee is fired, the company can hire in a replacement immediately. When a person is laid off, and they hire in somebody a little too quick, they are open to going to court. People are generally fired when the company already has a replacement set up, good to go, so to speak, and generally less wages, benefits, and getting rid of any seniority
that they would like to are the reason mostly.

Oh, in an "at will" state, you need a specific legal and binding contract for employment to avoid the the fired at will possibility.
Those people, like CEO'S & so forth, are protected by a written binding contract. Another reason that companies fire instead of laying off is unless you are union protected, most places of employment do not pay severance pay for a firing, and to protect their unemployment insurance/obligations to the state. Unemployment can not be collected on a fire, either in a lot of states. I am interested in whether someone can tell me if in the Peoples Republik Of Kalifornication can yyou collect unemployment if you are fires?

I think the best way I've heard of firing someone was told to me by a friend. He says that at Chinese or Taiwanese owned companies it is not uncommon for the boss to call you in, hand you a list of your deficiencies, then calmly look at you and say "try not to do these things on your next job". I kind of like it.

My boss plays the "you're fired" game. This is how it works: we wait until there people that we need to get rid of, and then he fills a 20oz Pepsi bottle with water. He then stands 10 feet away from the trash can. If he throws the bottle and it lands in the can, you're fired! If not, then you get to play again in 2 weeks. It adds some fun to the mix.
