How to Answer the Question:
Be honest. If you’ve never fired someone, the interviewer might ask you to consider what it might make you feel like. The employer wants to hear that you put the good of the company above personal loyalties or moral qualms when making necessary cuts to the staff for this job interview question. Keep your responses positive and never discuss your personal emotions; rather, let the interviewer know you value the company too much to abide poor performance and apathetic employees.
Do not express pleasure in the act of ending someone’s employment. Don’t act like a staff cut is impersonal or of little consequence. The interviewer wants to know you handle disciplinary actions with thought and candor while keeping the best interests of the company at the forefront of your managerial decision making.

No, I have never fired anyone.
However, if I have the responsible and that person committed a serious crime. Then I have to do I have to.

So I called in someone that wanted more hours and than I had to have my talk with her. Not a fun thing to do but you can’t have someone bringing down the team and disobedient to the restaurant.
