So I just had the crushing experience of firing someone. I’ve developed a really good technique with this. What I like to do is hysterically beg for forgiveness until they hang up. I think that works for both parties because I go in some way to alleviating my immeasurable and impenetrable sense of guilt, and the other person feels a relief that they no longer have to work with someone who could potentially be the subject of a Panorama episode.
