I keep reading about how managers fire employees and I can't help but think there was something under the surface going on when I was fired. I wasn't given any warning or explanation, and it came as a shock to coworkers that I worker closely with. Unfortunately, I'm take with trying to describe this situation to every potential employer anyway. Its great to hear that maybe my case was there exception, and that most employers are more transparent and open about performance expectations and how their employees are doing at their job. |

Just because people are over you in an organization doesn't mean they are wise and mature. Of course, if you are in the position to hire and fire then you get to make reality to some extent because you have more power. The employee has to pretend the boss knew what they were doing even afterward on penalty of being blackballed. It's not so easy to get an employer blackballed because somebody else always needs the money. And the culture says that a complaining employee is a liability, and if someone was fired or not hired then there is probably a good reason not to hire them.
Hiring and firing are just another job, and they are done by the same smart, average and stupid people doing other jobs. Let's not pretend that these decisions only ever depend on sound, objective calls completely grounded in consideration of facts and business.
