i just had to let one of my employees go today.  a fine, upstanding family man that i took on board about a year ago so i could help him out.  finally - corporate had enough, and i was out of political capital on the subject and had to let him go.

i'm sad for him.  i'm sad for the rest of my team. i feel like shit.

i pass.

it's an amazing thing.. allowing someone the room to share so they can save their own ass, in turn is opening the door for us to save OUR own ass.

i'll keep sharing... you keep listening.  then we'll switch.  ;)

jeeze...do I sense a group hug on the horizon? :) It is great, tho, to be able to feel, know that you are feeling and what you are feeling,and handle the crap reasonably appropriately...no small gift, that!
