"I learned a very valuable lesson: [if you] have somebody who has a bad attitude, they're going to suck up other people into their attitude."
"I want a happy atmosphere. The minute I see a complainer, I make an appointment to fire them."
"They take your money away and they take your energy, and the most valuable asset you have is your energy."
"I say, 'it's not working out, you don't fit in here,' and I give no more information than that."
Barbara Corcoran emphasizes the importance of a positive attitude in the workplace. She believes that while skills can be taught, a bad attitude is detrimental and can negatively influence others. Corcoran fires employees with poor attitudes immediately to maintain a happy work environment. She describes complainers as 'thieves' who drain energy and resources. Her firing approach is straightforward, typically conducted on Fridays, and she keeps her reasons brief, stating simply that the employee does not fit in.
