@garyvee: “One day in” meant I was stunned how we “missed it” and his behavior was unacceptable… I knew right there he wasn’t one of us, we worked on making it better but it wasn’t meant to be … for many of you the inability to admit these misses and the lack of action around them hurts the entire organization .. hiring is guessing … firing is knowing … work hard to help people make the adjustments to be successful in your orgs but please especially for small businesses don’t let your ego around being good at hiring hold you back from admiring your mistakes .. hope this video helps someone make the tough decisions they need to make 2026 a success ….
firing someone day one tells me more about the company than the person they hired

“Learn to fire fast” 🤣 as if the problem isn’t that people are legally protected and it’s very difficult to fire anyone fast in most settings. Theres a process and it’s often long as you must show reasonable attempt to get them to standard.

It’s not ego. I’m worried I didn’t teach them right and it’s my fault they’re underperforming and it doesn’t feel fair to fire them if it’s my fault.

The problem is I see employees as people instead of numbers on a spreadsheet, not an ego problem 😂

the probationary period tells you a lot, but I never see anyone actually fired during that time
employers give warning after warning for months

I'm not afraid of firing because of my ego I don't like firing because when a person accepts a job offer, their livelihood is now in my hands

why is there no room for hiring and training. why does someone have to be perfect for the job day 1. thats how we have entry level positions that need degrees and 3-5 years experience

So Gary didn’t take his own advice. Knew he wanted to fire him after one day, but waited 4 months to do it.

That’s the problem. It’s instead of giving someone a chance your side they’re fired. What’s start a new job they don’t know the job you gotta train them. Teach them make them understand.

A boss I had once told me “there’s no bad hires, just bad keeps”.

we have a 90-day probationary period where I work. it is their training period. if they are not meeting goals and expectations about every two weeks I will sit down and talk with them and see where they're at and look for ways to help them improve but if they have not improved to expectation within 90 days then I will let them go. I've had to do that a few times, not much but a few times.

Amber Mason :
My job has a policy where they can’t fire someone for no reason. Even if they just stand around. Or don’t put effort in. They have to have conversations and stuff with them documented before they can fire them

You don't need to hire the perfect person. You need to be willing to train those that are willing to become what you need and fire those that aren't.

Its not ego, its common decency
As soon as you said that person had a job with you, they made changes in their lives to accommodate you.
You may need to fire them, but you should do everything you can to prevent that.
