Hope something comes together soon. And hope it's better than what you left.

I've been affraid I was going to lose my job my entire profesional career. Had a bad case of it over the holidays, but I'm feeling a little better at least short term.

I can maybe bring one other bit of perspective to this as well. Aside from being nervous about my own job, I do find myself in the position of being the hatchet man as well. Good times.

Nothing worse than being the hatchet man. Even if you want to punch the SOB in the mouth, it's hard to tell him he's fired. Especially in today's market.

I don't envy you.

You ain't kiddin' brother. When I got here had to do a few. It was my first time and my first job running a department. I actually thought about quitting once I was done. There's no money that makes it worth it. Worst job ever. You're looking across the desk at someone who did nothing wrong and has a family at home and you're telling them they don't have a pay check. Can't help but think about what that's going to be like when they get home.

It's easier when its for cause, but still horrible.
