No, but the column written on a Japan associate who was fired via txt message comes to mind. An employer may use the rebuttal when confronted that we are in a new area and appealing To a younger generation and so it was acceptable to fire (Insert Name) by e-mail (or whatever means).
I personally think it lacks character and the leadership that comes with a management role. How are you going to fire someone who was loyal to your company whether it be a week or many many years by e-mail!!!???

No, as a sys admin at a prior job we would disable accounts the night before they let people go so they wouldnt have a chance to do anything when they came in the next morning (Including checking emails).
Which of course was how I figured out I was getting laid off when I came in one friday a few years ago. My boss then came in and explained the situation.

If you're fired, you're fired. But, unless the company does all/most business online, it isn't really nice to be fired that way.
Also, the company should want an exit interview if they are reputable. If they ask for one, give it and tell them how you feel about being fired in this way.

Absolutely not. This kind of action should be done in person, professionally. How would you like to get fired via email?

Would you want to be fired via email? Doing so kinda screams, I have no guts, so I'll fire you so that I don't have to look you in the eye.

Six weeks is too lengthy to watch for a reaction. even with in the journey that they did not have the advice you requested they could a minimum of have given you an e-mail that stated they're nevertheless engaged on it. i trust this is both one in each of a few issues; she in no way were given the e-mail or neglected it fullyyt in a stack of unopened emails, she forgot, she would not favor to address you, or she handed it on to somebody else and they forgot. deliver her a keep on with up e-mail inquiring for the advice back.

Under no circumstances would I consider that appropriate. If you are going to accept responsibility for firing someone, have the courage to face them and explain why. If you are fearful, have some help on hand or get someone higher up to do it.

only if the relationship and services have always been though email only. if this is a company where both employer and emplyee work in the same physical environment, face to face termination is proper for the situation.

No! If you're going to fire someone, the least you can do is face them, and explain your reasoning, and give them the chance to ask questions.

It shows a lack of respect for another human being.
It shows a lack of maturity on your part.
It's mean.
So, is it proper etiquette?
