Now I'm not 100% sure as to whether or not companies such as these exist - but I wouldn't be surprised. The timing was sort of perfect for this movie to come out (if you saw it, you'd know why a bit more). The economy has often caused unemployment rates to soar, and it can be difficult to let a loyal, employee or friend of 30 years go.
So what?
You spend money to fire someone YOU hired because you don't have enough money? I'm not sure this is very ethical.
What do you think? Does getting less personal and more efficient outweigh decency?
It makes sense, I wouldn't want to be the one who has to fire a long time co-worker, however I agree this job from the movie sounds like a huge waste of money. Why pay someone to do this? But I guess people pay for a lot of stuff that seems unnecessary, so this is just one of those jobs.
ReplyDeleteBut the company probably doesn't lose money because to pay one person to come once or twice to fire more than a few people is probably cheaper than paying their salaries. But you're right they could cut out the middle man all together.

ReplyDeleteI just saw this - so it does actually exist!
