Can an Employee Be Fired for Not Fitting into Work Culture?  Ask HR 

Opinion by Johnny C. Taylor Jr. 

A question was asked.  Can an employee be fired for not fitting into “company culture?” Is it a legitimate reason for firing an employee? 

 

The answered is Yes!  “Provided the firing is not motivated by illegal discrimination bias. Employers can and do fire employee they deemed is “culturally unfit”.  Employers, in many cases, rank work play culture right next to technical competency!” 

 

Employers want a cohesive, congenial, collaborative environment you’re spending 8+ hours to at work. Employers are looking for the “happy space” for at least 8 hours! 

 

“If workers are at odds with the company or with one another it may affect the morale and productivity.” 

 

“Employers recognize having the right people in the right place can mean the difference between thriving or just surviving!”  

 

An employer’s thriving default is thriving!
