    | The other example is where I matched an organization's requirements for a
    | security managment position with one flaw--I never fired anyone.  Why would
    | an organization be worried about how someone is fired?  If that is the case,
    | then they should consider HR handling the responsibility.
    
    I don't want to be overly critical, but firing people out of security
    is a high-risk activity, and I'm suprised that someone looking to a
    management position in security doesn't understand why.
    
    After all, the person being fired knows exactly how your security is
    set up.  Odds are really good that he knows about vulnerabilities.
    Etc.  It needs to be handled carefully and well.
