“(F)iring is a necessary evil, says Jodi Glickman, author and founder of communication consulting firm Great on the Job. “As the manager, you have to bear in mind what’s right for the company.” You have to focus on the fact that “the firing makes good business sense and hopefully is in the best interest of the person and your team going forward.” ...
The message should be direct and straightforward,” she says. Do not reveal reasons behind the decision — that’s confidential, and besides, “It sets a bad precedent to badmouth a former employee.” (https://hbr.org/2016/02/the-right-way-to-dismiss-someone)
Glick is talking about private companies but it should stand to reason that the government can employ the same methods. The Civil Service Commission should come up with ethical rules on dropping people from the roster with human dignity intact.
How many male employees were caught red-handed but were given a very graceful exit? Only women are badly battered all the time.
Let us not bow too much to authority when we know that in politics, some elected or appointed officials hardly got education on good manners and right conduct and just got immersed and bred in the dog-eat-dog style of political work.
Every day we should look at everything as a chance to refine our governmental functions not just in terms of delivering services to the people but also in the way the employees are handled.
