I know who she is and she is memorable but right now Swimming with Sharks is the only thing I can name. Maybe I would have seen her recently in Big Sky if I could have made it past 1.5 episodes.
I 've fired 2 people if my life. An apt description was they fired themselves. The first thing I'd do is look over void and cancellation reports. I'd call the customer and pretend to be a company rep asking about their experience. Were you satisfied? how was the quality? etc. My final question was you paid X amount of dollars. Do you believe it was fair value? They'd say either yes or no, it was too expensive or I got what I paid for. I knew right then either answer proved my suspension. I'd call HR and they'd tell me fire them. We have a good legal dept. we'll take care of the rest.
I have only fired one person ever, and he was the world’s tallest man.
Back in my early 20s, when i was probably too young to be hiring or firing anyone, i managed , for a time, an establishment on Bourbon Street... guy came in looking for a job, and he was 7’9” tall (not a typo).. i thought, This’ll be great- We’ll stick him at the door, nobody will **** with him... Well, as the night progressed, huge crowds were forming on the Street, outside the door, of people who couldn’t believe what they were seeing- to the point where the NOPD had to come by several times to disperse the crowd, so that the foot traffic could continue to move.. Dolly Parton on a balcony on Mardi Gras day wouldnt have attracted these kinds of crowds.. I guess if you combine drunk individuals with a guy who’s almost 8 feet tall, what could possibly go wrong? So at the end of the night, i felt bad, but had to let Big george know it wasnt going to work out... Later he wound up in the Guinness Book.

I played Little league baseball against a player that was 6'2 when he was 10 years old. My father and his dad were good friends . Modern surgery saved his life. If the surgery wasn't available, he may have became the modern day Robert Wadlow.I have only fired one person ever, and he was the world’s tallest man.

It wasn't an easy thing for me to do. I took no pleasure in it. One was the son of a close friend. I called her before I did it. She understood thankfully. I had a great responsibility and had to do it. It still didn't make it easy. I was still dealing with a fellow human being. There is an old saying about a parent spanking their child. This will hurt me more than it does you. I knew then what my mother meant.
I don't know, but I can't think of anyone better.
