New hire gets fired in front of everyone after two shifts on the job, owner claims it's due to a 'mix-up' with another hire, no one believes him: ‘He’s a complete loser'

Being terminated from your job is a clear indication that your superior thinks that the time and effort you put into the job so far are simply not good enough, and they are ready to move on and give someone else a go.

They can do it in their room, in a quiet and respectful environment, they can mention things the employee did do well so that wouldn't feel terrible about themselves, and they can genuinely, from the bottom of their hearts, wish them good luck in any future endeavor.
