Lousy title.<p>Corollary: if you treat your employees like disposables don&#x27;t be surprised if you find out they were productive individuals after all and that you now officially hold the bag. They shouldn&#x27;t even have had the guts to call him after such a termination.<p>An ex business friend of mine on a good Friday morning fired 3 long time employees out of the blue &#x27;to cut costs&#x27;. Haven&#x27;t been in touch since. That&#x27;s just not the way to do it and if you do then all the resulting side effects are yours.<p>You&#x27;ve made your bed, now you must lie in it.
