If you had chosen not to fire that individual, what do you think you would have had to tolerate?

Um, yeah, there's a little of a bit of a backstory to, to, to that exact how, how we ended up in that situation.

It might, might be en- enlightening, and it's not gonna be like a career tale at all.

But it, it...

I was a fairly new manager at that point, and I had come into this position as part of a consolidation of, uh, legal resources throughout the organization.

So it was a fairly newly formed, uh, uh, unit.

Uh, and it wasn't my idea to form it.

And today, how is your hiring process different? Or hiring and firing, I should say.
