Wrote it. Waiting for an employment lawyer to bless it. Posting soon!

I'm thinking about writing an article about some recommended tactics for firing employees (at a startup) when it's for performance reasons.
I feel like, consistently, a high % of my first-time portfolio founders call me at midnight early in our partnership to say "I want to fire [name] tomorrow. Ive never fired anyone. What do I do?"... So instead of keeping my advice on a phone call or a private google doc, maybe I just post an X article? I've seen it done both horribly (omg my first firing story was a disaster) and well.
Would this be helpful or is the probable-hate Im going to get from posting this article not worth it? 🤣
