I was fired from a job when I was a teenager, they waited until the end of my shift to do it. If you’re going to let someone go just fucking do it and don’t be a shit sipper and wait until the end of the day. It’s just extra demoralizing when they can you after an already shitty day.

Yeah that's def not the established way of doing it. MAybe they thought they'd give you an extra day of pay, but most people know that anyone would sacrifice that one day to go home if you're just going to get fired, haha. Yeah it's shit emotionally to wait. Just doesn't sit right, fells like they're using you

When I've had to fire people, I'd do it right at the start of their shift, and they'd be paid for the day. I've even covered a cab ride home for someone who got dropped off for work. Sucks that I had to pull the trigger, and I've been on the other side too, so I figured the least I could do was approach the situation with a bit of empathy.

You're a good person, truly.
