New Management Team Mistakenly Fires The Company's Best Employee And Immediately Regrets It

One of the most backbreaking things a manager may have to do is let go of an employee, especially an oldie. This is easier said than done for many leaders because firing an employee is unsettling, and they typically do not want to cause controversy in the workplace.

One explanation, according to researchers, is that most executives do not involve a large number of employees in creating their company's vision. People are less passionate about the product when they do not feel like they are a part of the process.

It also impacts employee performance, retention, job advancement, and even family life. So congrats to our engineer for putting in the extra effort. A change in ownership of a firm might transform it into a different business, and not necessarily in a good way.

One recent post on the famous r/ProRevenge forum by member Vonadler is a beautiful example of how imposing policies on staff you know nothing about can have catastrophic consequences. It introduces the story's hero—an elderly engineer who had become a valuable member of the team.

He delivered results, trained his coworkers, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. However, the company was sold to someone else, and new managers took over.

They intended to take the ship in a different direction, making some of the crew uncomfortable, not to mention their most essential engineer. The conflict intensified, and the managers resolved to fire him as soon as a chance arose.

The managers didn't expect to request him to return after only a few days.
