It's interesting how the firing process presented in the movie Up in the Air (2009) was supposed be inhumane and insulting. Well, look where we are now.
Either you or I, and I suspect you, have misunderstood the film's intention if you think that we the viewer are meant to agree with any of the options used by Clooney's character's company, that they were the humane option.
Humane would be telling the person who works for you that you can no longer employ them, not hiring some stranger to come and tell them.
I don't think that either the direct or remote methods presented in the film were humane. Certainly not what I meant. I do think though, that checking your e-mail at 9AM to see if you're fired is considerably worse.
