Summary

Nobody likes firing people. But if you're in HR or managing a team, it's inevitable. The question isn't whether you'll have to do it — it's whether you're ready when it happens.

In this episode, Yang and Ashley get into the real, unfiltered side of difficult terminations. We're talking a pre-Christmas executive layoff, a guy who spit on the table and dropped every curse word in the book on his way out, and what it's like to fire a friend and then watch her face when she realizes you already knew.

They break down what actually goes into a termination before anyone sits down in that room, why you should never apologize, how PIPs are being misused, and what to do when the person being fired won't stop talking.

Real stories. Hard lessons. And yes — someone had a gun in their car.
