Have You Ever Had To Fire Anyone?

"So With Me, Firing Is A Last Resort. But When Its Got To Be Done, Its Got To Be Done, And The Faster And Cleaner, The Better.

When There's No Other Way, I've Found Its Better For All Concerned To Act Decisively In Getting Rid Of Offenders Who Won't Change Their Ways."
