I fired a temp today.
I was doing one of my "walks around the factory" to make sure everything was ok.

The temp was drinking a can of coke and chatting to someone who was operating a machine.
He said "Who's that guy who's always walking around and looking grumpy. What does he even do here?"
I walked up behind him and said "Fire people."

He's gone now.

I can't remember where I saw this, but I want to fire someone like this one day....
Get everyone to stand in a line, say "OK, everyone who works here, take a step forward" "... not so fast [name].".

I think
if I had the power to fire, it would be done through the medium of musical chairs...

Ok, listen up team, one of you needs to be let go, I don't like it, but it has to be done.
*plays music chairs 'till it gets down to one chair*
Timmy, don't be a dick, give John your chair.

You

Hah!
Isn't that from the Simpsons? Something to do with a football team?

I don't know.
All I know is that I would put on the theme tune to the magic roundabout and then fire the person who lost.
