Discuss the ramifications of firing employees from their job by email or text message
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Firing via a text message or email is impersonal and rude, and a face-to-face approach is preferred. In one case several hundred workers were fired by email, which resulted in infuriated workers who retaliated against the company by bashing it in the media. Losing a job is difficult regardless of the medium in which the news is communicated, but compounding that with a lack of sensitivity and respect can only make a bad situation worse.
