(scruple) I have to let 7 employees go today. I am drinking heavily. Can I send a group text? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

Think about what they need vs what do they think they want.

If I was being fired I would NEED to know as soon as possible by whatever means is most efficient. I would WANT to not be fired, but you can't always get what you want.

If you don't want to deal with drama do it tomorrow night and then disappear for the weekend. When they finally get ahold of you Monday the initial emotional reaction will have calmed somewhat.

I have fired hundreds of people, it's never easy, and the more you put it off the worse it gets. It's just like pulling off a band-aid, the quicker the better. The truth is most people will be better off without the job (eventually), but in the moment they take it as personal rejection and few people handle that gracefully.

At this time you should also, one on one, lay-off those who you feel you must. Explaining nothing but the exit plan you have for each. Again, explain nothing in this meeting, keep it short and focus on the employees exit.

At this point I am wasted but still am able to connect with reality from time to time so your opinions will be considered and welcomed.

Question: Will I be an ass if I send a group text or do I have to do this one by one?

What say you citizens of Rome?

Faggot.

Be a man.

Sounds like you should not ever be in a position of responsibility.

Do you think you deserve the respect of your employees ?

What kind of business service do you offer that you send foot traffic into what I presume is a brick and mortar establishment and which requires so many employees to do it? Do your employees hand out flyers on the street or door to door for retail businesses?
