I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody.

Well, yes, I've fired a lot of people. Generally I like other people to fire, because it's always a lousy task. But I have fired many people.

The worst way to fire somebody is to let it drag out. It's not good for that person because they're not succeeding in their role. And it's not good for the organization because it's just not working.

In my experience, people are usually fired for reasons having to do with budgetary constraints, incompetence or not fulfilling the terms of a contract.

Getting fired is what happens to a manager sooner or later.

I have had hundreds of people work for me over the years, and I don't think I ever fired anybody.

I'm not really a management-type person. It doesn't suit my personality to be bossing people around.

There's nothing wrong with being fired.

Getting fired was always a big deal to me. It's a bit like having someone break up with you.

It's hard to get fired from the government. You have to, like, kill people.
