Most bosses don’t have a very “humane” approach when it comes to letting people go. Who knows what parts of the story are missing, or not told.
again missing my point of the original post.
the doctor/boss thought he was being humane. my point which again you miss and don’t comment on, is that it was hardly humane. and as a doctor knowing about stress and what it does to a person, he just heaped a ton additional onto her, and he’s trying to pass off what he did as humane.
HE’s the one SAYING he did it this way b/c it was humane. Like he was doing her a favor.
He’s either an idiot if he really believes this was humane, or a liar and trying to cover his ass for acts he sees most people see as NOT humane at all.
In a small shop as others pointed out, who fires an apparent close working assistant (like working with you daily on procedures, your right hand) with a note? He really thought that was more humane than a one-on-one with her in private, to discuss, hey if i let you go now you can focus on your cancer and you can collect unemployment, and when you are better we can assess where you are and see if you can come back to work?
i just don’t buy the humane rationalization. not from a guy this intelligent.
