Should companies give notice to people they fire? Like adult diapers, it depends. Each situation has its own idiosyncrasies. Not every new hire is going to work out. Hiring the right person is a challenging endeavor. The new hire needs to be able to do the job, work well with others, and fit in with company culture.

Some people are be toxic. Others are just not able to cut the mustard. Keeping either around is harmful to morale or is damaging to the company culture.

I believe a lot of problems stem from the hiring process itself. Sometimes hiring managers don't ask the right questions or take the company culture into account. This often leads to making bad hiring decisions.

Not all companies are bad though. I know of a company that provides generous severance packages to those they fire. They understand the trauma and upheaval it will have on the individual’s life. This company may unfortunately be an outlier.

That's my $0.02.
