Firing an employee is always hard, but it is a natural part of the employee lifecycle. Avoiding a discharge because it is uncomfortable or burdensome could put the company and employees at risk in the long run.
Instead, a strategically planned and conducted termination promotes an efficient workplace and builds respect for the company during an age of quiet quitting. In the end, terminations are a necessary part of maintaining a healthy and successful business as they ensure company productivity and efficiency while protecting the overall well-being of the workforce.
