Not as much as being fired. I've known some assholes that actually took pleasure in firing people. But knowing a bit about you I'm sure it wasn't easy.
Slow business or poor performance?

firing people sucks.....not now, cuz i retired young :), but i was at one time responsible for the hiring and firing of the employees in my sbu (strategic business unit) for the Corporation that i worked for and also when i was a manager for another corporation.

It does suck, this is why you need to make certain the employee is not salvageable, make certain you've given them their 3 shots of improvement and spend a little of your own time trying to help the employee fit in, maybe even in another dept where they may exceed expectations...

HOWEVER, if they can not come to par or meet productivity numbers, you have no other choice than to pink slip them.... and hope U/E helps them get by until they find their next job.

I am directly responsible for 50 employees...and yes firing people definately sucks. I probably go too far in making the unworkable situations work, but when the time comes to have to fire someone, I know that I have done my best to make it work.

tell me how does an employee gain the trust of their employer.....

and for five bonus points tell me how an employer gains the trust of their employee.....

and if i can't be trusted tell me why more than 30 people have decided to work with me for the past decade.....and why my x boss and my x partner came....

and for five bonus points tell me how an employer gains the trust of their employee.....Not the same answer, considering how little employers actually promise.
and if i can't be trusted tell me why more than 30 people have decided to work with me for the past decade.....and why my x boss and my x partner came....You must be one of those people who in real life is nothing like what they are online. :slap:

the answer is identical......think about it.....what would you have to do to get people to follow you.....my staff have been offered 10's of thousands of dollars to leave...yet they stay.....

one word keeps us together... trust .... they trust me that i can help them get to where they want to go .... and if they can't they know i will tell how to or why they can not get there ....

there are people that have been here that know me .... they say i am more brutal in real life .....

they describe my studio as something similar to the most dificult class at university....best students....best projects...most demanding teacher....some people prefer false praise and being able to fuck up and kiss ass and survive....my group makes you back your bullshit up with skill....

I'd work for you in a heartbeat. I gave it serious thought. Problem is, I really do love to teach.

I may be naive, but think one can get a sense of others online, warts and all. That's where judgment kicks in.

you are too kind.....i did wonder if you were going to take me up on my offer....but you are correct...teaching is the best.....i go to work every day and teach my staff to be better than me....i would kill for any one of them and they know it....they also know i reward skill period ..... and that if you fuck up you get to fix it .... and god help you if you try to brown nose your way around those two rules ....

Actually, I just threw out the "liar" observation in passing. The fact that manu got so amped up over it was what caused me to smell blood.
