My heart was beating a million beats a minute when it came time to let Richard go.
解雇Richard（化名）时我心跳特别快。
I had inherited Richard from my predecessor, and there was no question I was doing the right thing for the company.
我以前任那里接手他的，毫无疑问我为公司做了件正确的事。
Richard was really struggling, and he couldnt get anything done, and, worse yet, he was in a customer-facing role, and he was in no way a good representative of the company.
他工作真的非常吃力，什么工作都完不成，更糟糕的是，他要直接面对顾客，他真的不可以非常不错地代表企业的形象。
Letting Richard go was the right thing to do, but I dreaded doing it.
解雇他是对的，但我非常担忧。
Richard had some interpersonal issues. In fact his interpersonal skills were horrible.
他与人交往有的问题，其实他非常不会和其他人交际。
But Richard is a human being. He has a wife. He has kids. He has a mortgage to pay.
但他也是一个人，有老婆、有孩子、还有房贷要还。
And, I was about to turn his world upside down.
我的决定就要颠覆他的生活了。
I felt relieved and horrible at the same time. I was relieved that letting Richard go was over.

害怕的是我了解他的世界发生了天翻地覆的变化。

I think Ive fired three people in my professional life. Two were tough to fire, while the other was rather fun. This was when I owned a coffeehouse.
我想我的职业生涯中解雇过三个人。其中有两个非常难决定，但另外一个非常轻松。当时我开了一家咖啡店。
The first was the toughest. Id brought him on board to be my assistant manager at the very beginning and the day before we opened, or maybe the day we opened I had to let him go because he was just too rigid. He wouldnt take direction or bend on anything. He was always right. Id had high hopes for him too because he had some good experience being a restaurant manager.
第一个最难决定。我从刚开始就把他招来当我的副经理。开始营业前一天或者可能是开始营业当天我就把他辞退了，由于他太过死板。他脑筋不会转弯，也不向任何事低头，他一直对的，我也对他期望非常高，由于他有做餐馆经理的丰富经验。
The second was tough too because I really liked this woman , but she was just flakey. It was a second job for her and as time went on, she would frequently show up late and didnt seem to take the job seriously. I put up with it for a while because at the beginning she usually did a good job and was fun to work with most of the time.
第二个也非常难，由于我真的非常喜欢这个女性（从专业角度来讲），但她非常古怪。这是她的第二份工作。工作时间久了，她就频繁迟到，工作态度也不认真。我忍受了一段时间，由于她刚开始工作做得还是很好的，和她共事大部分时候还是非常愉快的。
The third one was satisfying this kid was a college student whod been working for me for a few months at this point. He was an average employee and did his job alright. The problem was that wed been contacted by ASCAP a couple of times. Thats the organization that enforces copyrights on music. The woman gave off an arrogant vibe like she knew exactly what we were doing with music.
第三个结果非常让人认可。那个孩子是个大学生，那时已经在我那儿工作几个月了。他是一个非常普通的职员，工作做得也还可以。问题是ASCAP的人来造访了几次，这个机构是负责音乐版权的。那个女性很傲慢，仿佛她真了解大家在拿音乐干什么文章似的。
After her first visit, I switched to only playing the radio. I instructed the staff that we could no longer play our own music from our iPods or CDs because of copyright laws. Everyone complied. Well, except for this one guy.
她首次造访之后，我就只播放广播里的音乐。由于版权法有规定，所以我需要职员不要再播放ipod或CD里我们的音乐了，大伙都服从命令，只有那个男生例外。
When I was around, it wasnt an issue, but when I wasnt, hed play his iPod. I reiterated to him privately that it was no longer OK and why. He understood. It happened a second time and I had another conversation with him about it. I went into a little more detail this time explaining that we could be sued or forced to pay the ASCAP fee.
我在的时候还没有事，我不在他就播放ipod里的音乐。我私底下反复找他说如此不可以，也说明了缘由，他都懂了。这件事又发生了一次，我又找他谈。我这一次更详细地讲解说大家会被指控或罚款。
Well, the final straw came. During a trip, when I was checking in with my manager, she told me this guy was playing his music and shed told him not to. He continued doing it. I was incredulous. This was not a stupid kid he was a college student at a pretty good school.
终于他最后的机会也没了。一次我出差，和经理交流时，她告诉我那个男生正在播放我们的音乐，她去阻止了，但没用。我真没办法相信。他不是一个愚蠢的孩子，他可是一所很好的大学里的大学生。
I returned a few days later. As soon as he came in, I brought him in the back and fired him. It was fun to fire him because this little boy just refused to listen even after I gave him several chances.
几天后我回来了，他一来上班我就把他带到后面，解雇了他。辞退他非常高兴，由于这个小孩子甚至在我给过他几次机会之后仍然不服从管理。

Yes several. First of all, firing someone is not the best experience a manager would have in life.
是的，我解雇过几个人。第一，解雇职员不是经理的工作中最好的历程。
So most people I know are trying to keep it at a minimum, but it is inevitable to fire some people in your career, as it is a natural part of business environment.
所以大部分我认识的人都尽可能少解雇职员，但在职业生涯中辞退职员是不可防止的，由于这是商业环境中非常自然的一部分。
Most people I fired was either under performers or wrongly placed people regarding their talents, with no hope or sign for development.
大多数我辞退的人要么表现非常差，要么就是由于被放在了不可以发挥他们才能的错误的地方上而没进步的期望或迹象。
A few people I fired, was disciplinary problems, like habitually late to work, problematic intercommunications with co-workers etc.
极少有人被我解雇是因为纪律方面的问题，譬如习惯性迟到、和同事交流有问题等。
I unfortunately fired one person from a company due to mismanagement of our general manager, under his orders
有一个人非常不幸地由于总经理的管理失误在领导的命令下被我解雇了
It was a sad story, but in short, in order to protect several people, you might be forced to fire one or two.
那是一个悲伤的故事，但简单说来，为了保护某些人，你或许会被迫解雇一两个人。

但我仍然觉得辞退职员不是容易做到的事。

At times employees are fired for political reasons.

It is sad but it happens.
