If someone hasn&#x27;t said this already, I&#x27;d look at firing him as a &quot;teachable moment&quot;. It&#x27;s not a negative, but rather a sign of unity, positivity, support, and togetherness.<p>Framed correctly, anyone in the company who hears even a rough &quot;person was let go for a serious HR violation&quot; (a lawyer will clarify who can hear what) will come away from the experience with increased rather than diminished confidence in their colleagies and your leadership.<p>EDIT to add: Also, she&#x27;s not causing trouble, he is. Very simple.
