Not Suitable For Work Podcast

In the not so distance past, a pink slip was used to terminate an employee. You’d get your paycheck and if there was a pink slip attached then you knew the gig was up and it’s time to look for a new job. That’s it, super-efficient.

An employee should deserve better. Unfortunately, not sure if how people are fired, laid off or made redundant has gotten much better. Most companies still don’t get it right, even though they have plenty of practice given how often it happens. In this episode, an executive coach shares how his previous employer was really bad at letting people go.
