You’re Fired! The Right Way And The Wrong Way

Stuart Ramson

Firing someone can be one of the most challenging tasks in business.

Hiring a new employee is a positive time. Everyone looks forward to the work the employee will do and how he or she will move the company forward. But the reverse – having to fire someone – is a challenge for an organization, the person being fired and their co-workers who are still with the company.

We look at the right and wrong methods of firing an individual, and the proper decorum of those being fired and their former co-workers.

Also on the program, Dr. Mariko Silver became Bennington College’s president just over a year ago. We hear her assessment of the college and plans for the future.

Broadcast live on Tuesday, August 26 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
