One of our very hard working and trusted people had to be let go today because our client no longer has work for her. It was such a difficult day for me and I would be lying if I said that I am not affected/dont care/only business etc. Rubbish. I feel responsible, I know her life situation and that she needed this job. I dont know if anyone has been in this situation before? How did you handle it?
Clearly, being an employer isnt fun either(!)
I appreciate that "not everyone" is cut out to be self-reliant, independent, or fast lane, however you want to call it. Just imagine if we all had this capacity - there would be no end to competition. It was a privilege to be able to help someone even for a short period of time but cant help feeling rubbish as I could not retain her. This worker was really worth the job, and more, very punctual reliable, hard working and trustworthy. Did not deserve the redundancy at all, but that is how things play out sometimes.
I will recover from it tomorrow, but today it is only human to feel some compassion. There is a sense of injustice and I probably feel as though I failed because I could not retain her even on a contractor basis - due to not having a back-up client in the same industry. Probably need to spend more time strategising and taking useful action than posting on this forum (!).
Life is difficult!
