Mike Andes says fire employees without explaining why. He describes an employee who stole a truck and argues that under at-will employment, you don't owe anyone a reason. Terminated workers can file for unemployment if they need it.
I was telling the business owner, just like fire the person and don't give them a reason. You never give people reasons for firing. I didn't think you needed to. It's like, look, if I as an employer don't want you around, I can let you go. We had to let someone go last week. He jumped in a truck and stole. And if you don't want to be here as an employee, you can leave. I can't handcuff you to the business. It's called a free country. This happened last week to someone. We were firing them. I'm going to record you. Tell me why I'm getting fired. Every manager knows you don't say a single word. Like they know why. They're not obligated to give me two weeks notice. They can just walk out and that's fine. And if I fire them without a cause, they're going to get unemployment anyways. There's systems in place for this. I made a short last week and it was about like at will states.
