Should I fire incompetent employees?

  1. As business people, we are supposed to be very practical with an eye for productivity. Supposing I have bunch of employees that are incompetent in my business organisation, should I fire them or give them time to improve? Won’t giving them time impact on my profitability as a business?

    Why should you keep employees who are not competent? Firing less competent staff is a common practice in the business world and a lot of companies do this. Therefore, you should not be afraid firing bad staff. However, when you fire someone you should have genuine reasons. You cannot expect people to work very good if your payment is very poor. You cannot fire some one without any kind of valid reasons. You might land into legal case.

    Yes, I believe incompetent employees should be fired because they'll only cost you more as time goes on, keeping them is liability and you have to pay them salaries when they're not offereing any value to you, if after you asses them and you find out that they're incompetent, you shouldn't waste timRead more

    As a business owner you should have the ability to communicate clearly to your employees and tell them to leave if you feel they’re not fulfilling their roles.

    Incompetent employees means they are not living up to the expection. What they wrote in their resume and what they are paid to do. Even after training.

    Incompetent employees means they are not living up to the expection. What they wrote in their resume and what they are paid to do. Even after training. That’s really incompetency and you would have no need to keep them around since they are not adding up but only taking from the organization. This shouldn’t be a topic to debate for because the business will fill the negative impact of sum employee so you shouldn’t keep them around.

    If you really want your organization to make progress you need to make sure that everything is in place and that you have and operate with a workforce that can be able to drive towards good progress.

    Incompetent workers always tend to stand as set back’s to collective progress but then even as you aim at being better you must not do so at the expense of a good name

    Sometimes it is good to actually give such workers the chance to get better and work on themselves and make them understand the necessity of that and you can take any action as firing when they show no effort towards getting better

    As a manager I don’t see the reason why you should have people who are not competent at all to stay with you and enjoy the money you pay them which they honestly do not earn or deserve.

    Being a manager means you have to make some tough decisions and choices which might not see well with others and I think firing people or dismissing them from work is one of those choices you need to make once in a while.

     

    If you don’t do that, you are leading the pathway that will lead to the fall of your company which I don’t think you would like at all.

    Be just but that doesn’t mean you should be unserious and too kind to people
