Never Fire People Based Off of Feelings
Summary
- It's alarming to consider running a company where people are fired based on someone else's feelings; it's an approach that really frustrates me.
- I believe that decisions such as hiring or firing should be based on solid evidence rather than emotions.
- You must be prepared to present clear facts and evidence if you're going to argue that a person is not performing their job well or isn’t a good cultural fit.
- Until you can back up your claims with evidence, your argument doesn't have any substantial foundation.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a system where decisions like hiring or firing are based on clear evidence, not just feelings. Start by making a list of job responsibilities for every role. Make sure these responsibilities are clear to everyone.
When you think someone isn't doing a good job or doesn't fit the culture, collect evidence first. This could be sales numbers, customer feedback, or how often they finish tasks on time. Store all your evidence in one place, like a folder or computer file.
If it's time to talk about someone's job performance, be ready with your evidence. Go over your list and be specific about where they didn't meet expectations. This approach keeps discussions fair and focused on real work issues, not just how someone feels.
Remember, don't make important company decisions too fast. Take the time to get your evidence together and think it through before you act. This can save your business from making mistakes that can cost a lot later on.
And finally, make a habit of checking regularly on your team's performance. By keeping up with how well everyone is doing, you can spot problems early and fix them before they get too big. That means your business can keep running smoothly without big, sudden changes.
