You might have the best boss in the entire world!! (I hope you do.) You might think otherwise of your boss :)
However, if it came time to do the work of firing someone, there's typically a common courtesy of a face to face meeting about all the reasons. Not for Katy Tanner. Katy got a migraine headache, and decided to take a sick day to rest and regain her strength.
As she got home, she turned off her cell to keep the noises from blaring--if you've ever had one you'll know why. The next day, she felt better, and turned the cell back on to find a startling text message: "You're fired!"
The rest of the text delineated the full reasons of why she was being let go...slow sales, etc...and even thanked her for her time with the company. --Nice touch, but on a text?--Well, the company is really standing strong on their decision. They are even saying it was the best course of action because, they couldn't get in touch with her by phone...and to keep modern. KEEP MODERN?!?!?!?
Just call me old fashioned, but the board room seems better than the (Text) chat room.

Not only is firing someone in this way ugly, it is cowardly.
