Would you fire your wife?
Frank McCourt has been trying for some time to fire his wife Jamie McCourt from her job as half owner of the Dodgers. Can you imagine a circumstance where you personally would come to a point where you might have to fire your spouse? Can you imagine a worse work/home situation?

If all goes according to plan, by this time next year I should be a married woman. Would I fire my husband? Yes. Would it be an easy decision? No.
Then again, firing someone is rarely an easy decision, and it definitely is never one to enter into lightly or with fickleness.
By the time the situation reached a point where termination were the only option left, one would have already explored and exhausted other options which would have provided my husband with the necessary and timely input to modify his performance or behavior in order to prevent termination. If in spite of all that, he still failed to do so I would fire him.
I feel that a marriage that decides to work together should be strong enough to be able to discriminate between decisions that are occasioned by work as opposed to those that are related to the relationship and should therefore be mutual. If either feels that those scenarios are not tolerable, then they should not work together.

Hi,
That's very good question and really it happens .In this case you should think how much it'll affect the relationship afterwards.
To answer it to you :
yes I will
yes you should do it
due to results
due to performance
business is money
time is money
The reality is you can both suffer from getting a bigger loss in the future otherwise.
cheers
