Today, my boss told me to fire the unstable, former military, gun nut employee. He's been making death threats to his supervisors. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my spineless shitwhip of a boss made me go fire a notoriously abusive employee. I had to act like firing him was my decision, even though I'm the secretary. Now I get to live in constant fear that the guy was serious when he threatened to find out where I live and kill me. FML
Today, my boss made sure to do one last thing before he retired. Fire me. FML
Today, at my new job at a funeral home, my boss threatened to fire me if I didn't "lighten the hell up" while dealing with our grieving clients. FML
Today, my boss gave me the task of firing a recently-hired coworker next Friday. This guy spends most of his off-hours working out, probably abusing the fuck out of steroids, and to whom prison is like a bed-and-breakfast. I fear for my life by this point. FML
Today, a customer at work made threats against me and my two-month old son. Instead of following policy by notifying the police, my manager apologized to him and told me to leave. FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me for killing him in Minecraft. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my boss asked if he could pay me in guns. FML
Today, my boss is still refusing to fire my psychotic coworker, who's made it his mission to insult, annoy, bully and threaten me every day into making me quit. My boss is convinced the guy just has "assburger's" and that the company would get sued if we fired him. FML
Today, I tried to fire the worst worker I've ever had over the phone because he never shows up for work anymore. He said no and went crazy. HR and the police are now involved. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Firing anyone sucks, but especially one who makes death threats? That's really nice of your employers to do to you.

This is an occasion when a text message break up sounds okay.

Nooo! Text dumps are NEVER okay, especially when the recipients a gun nut.

Hopefully, the threats have been reported to the police. You can ask to have security present when you let him go. If they refuse, you have the right to refuse to do it if you believe it to be unsafe.

Hey, HelpMe1, is that your employee, Jobless, over there? He just seems misunderstood. Perhaps he's just a teddy bear caught in a rough looking man's body. He really does seem like he wants to make a positive change and spread some cheer and goodwill to others. :) Seriously, though just talk to him and explain to him why he's needing to be let go. Then see if your supervisor will be willing to give him a 30 day or so probation period to see if he can change rather than a full-on severance. Sometimes people will take that opportunity and make a 180 turn around, esp if they have family and really need the income to support their loved ones. There may be a domestic issue going on that's making him irrationally angry at work because of the stress at home.

I agree with #15. You need to have security present. If your company does not have security the police can help you. He also sounds like he has PTSD. He needs help.

Write a note telling him he's fired on a word document, print it, and leave it on his desk.

Leave a note for him that he's fired....don't give your name but your supervisors seeing as they decided to pull that asshat move on you.

Dang! Fired - and on the first day he's come into work feeling positive in as long as he can remember, feeling like he can make good things happen.

If your boss is afraid to fire the guy, then he's an idiot to delegate this task to you. Redirect it to where it should have gone in the first place, HR. It's their job to handle stuff like this. A few very short interviews with the supervisors will be conducted immediately, and police will be called to escort the guy off the premises, and possibly to jail. Don't know the labor laws in Indonesia, but if they're anything like the US then the guy will have his last check h in his pocket as he's escorted out.
