I had to fire quite a few people in my 39 career. Retired now.
One thing that I think to help understand the process is that people "fire themselves", via their performance or behavior. The person firing them is just delivering the message.
Yes we want people to be able to support their families, but they have to willing and capable of doing that. Letting the poor ones hang around just screws the better employees.
More than one time I had police or a corporate security person in the next room when I had to deliver the message. But never did run into violence beyond verbal.
