Would you prefer them be weeping? No really I wonder which people like getting bad news from more, happy or sad people.

I prefer them to not be enjoying it, nor taking it lightly that I’m losing my income and I’ll be struggling over the next series of months to make ends meet.

I mean, I’d like them to act like they feel bad. I think that’s what most people are after. Some semblance of “this is wrong and I’m sorry”

I would rather they self-flagellate throughout the entire process.

I've already got that part covered

I'd rather they rip the bandaid off and not pretend they are my friend. You are firing me. You are removing me from my source of income. Stop trying to be "pleasant" because it just looks like you are enjoying it.

No smiles, no affected happiness, no weasel words about being "let go". Just say "yeah, sorry, you're fired". The more emotionless you can make it on your end, the better.

Heck don't even fire me in person. Send me an e-mail. It's a lot more... Humane. Less cruel.
