Language to use at termination
My SpeakStrong blog had a lively dialogue about the word termination and how to tell someone they’re fired. It led to a broader discussion about the constant struggle to balance truth and sensitivity. Here are some of the suggested phrases to replace the word termination.
- We’ve given you several opportunities to improve, Bob, but we cannot spend company resources that way any longer.
- It is time to part ways.
- Separated from the job/position
The word “termination” got no votes.
