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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody.
Management don't really have any problem at all with firing people. It's a powerful idea that, If I'm not happy, I'll quit. I'll try something else!
Getting fired was always a big deal to me. It's a bit like having someone break up with you.
I fire very little because I try to be very careful when I select people. If you know how to select, you don't fire often.
I've never been fired in my life. From anything. I've never failed at anything I've tried.
I am such a do-goody, people-pleasing kid - or I was - I don't think I've ever been fired, not even from an ice cream shop, magician for kids' parties, not even in my early jobs in radio.
I've never been fired in my life.
'You're fired' was not a part of the deal. And when I went into the first board room, the very first one, I'm looking at these people, and I had to fire somebody, but we never thought in terms of the expression 'You're fired.'
If you've got to get fired, it's really fabulous to get fired with a friend.
I have had hundreds of people work for me over the years, and I don't think I ever fired anybody.
