Feb. 13, 2014 — -- Maybe there's a good severance package?!

Mariah Carey, 43, is busy doing more than posting provocative selfies. Apparantly she fires her staff all the time.

"Unfortunately I have to have nannies but I'm very hands-on. I fire nannies like this [snapping her fingers]," she told Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club.

She continued, "And I hate doing it but I have to, because if they try to make themselves more important in the babies' minds than me, [she has to fire them]."

As for rumors that she is planning to release a children's book, she blamed them on her husband.

"I have not agreed to those terms," she said. "Nick [Cannon, her husband] jumps the gun. He jumps the gun and that's all I'm going to say. I'm not ready to talk about any babies books or anything like that."
