A male employee had to go because he was no longer effective in dealing with customers. I had no choice, decisions have to be made decisively. When I called him to my office at 4:30 pm this afternoon, he turned pale knowing fully well what was about to happen. He sobbed in front of me and it broke my heart. I ended up making hagod his shoulder because he was crying. I was also teary eyed. I offered him cookies to pacify him. But who would want cookies if you just lost your job.
I hate letting go of employees because I know they have families, they have apartments to pay and they have dreams. In this particular case, he has a one year-old baby. I hate the thought that tonight he would come home and announce to his wife the sad news. I feel for them. I imagine myself in their shoes. Oh God, I don’t want things like this happening.
I pray that other car service companies hire him fast because of his work experiences.
I sincerely wish him good luck.
