Woa! :-O You want to punish the guy AFTER he's been fired. Why?

I've had to fire a number of people over the years, and though the last time 
I had to fire someone it wasn't any easier than the first time, I learned 
that there is a right and a wrong way to do it. The right way means the 
person shakes your hand, and walks away with their dignity intact.
