good/bad firing stories?

Boy, I just make somebody's holiday season unforgettable.

A couple of days ago he discovered that his mom has cancer. Today I fired him (well, technically, I asked him to resign). The thing with his mom had nothing to do with his dismissal, but I couldn't help but think how bad his holidays must be sucking.

I feel bad. I really do. Talk about messed-up timing.

The last time I let someone go, I did it from a beachfront condo. I delivered the bad news by phone with the sound of the Hawaiian surf in the background. I felt like an ass then too.

So, you ever fire anybody is a spectacular fashion? Get fired in a particularly brutal way? Let's hear it.
