"There are always different challenges popping up from day to day as an HR manager, especially in the fintech field. But I thrive on that; I enjoy the variety and excitement that comes with my job. Having said that, though, I find it especially difficult when someone needs to be terminated. In general, I get along with and like everyone, even when they might not necessarily be doing their job as needed, so on a personal level, it's almost always hard to be a part of letting someone go. I reconcile this sad feeling with the knowledge that I can make their transition easier by supplying all the information they need in terms of their final paycheck, unused vacation time, benefits, and more. I believe that this helps them during this difficult time. I strive to be professional, understanding, and friendly in those final meetings and rest easier knowing that I'm doing my part in helping them move forward to the next stage in their life."
