No real advice, but lots of empathy - what an awful situation to have to be left with!
I think your plan is the right one.. just agree that it's happened, it's a shock, and it's a shame - and just go about your day, as best you can.
It sounds like you already have the best plan. Sorry you are left to pick up the pieces, but getting things back to normal as quickly as possible is the best bet. I have been in your shoes, so all my empathy goes out to you. (((HUGS)))
@tksjewelry: @jaguar: yeah thanks for the assurance. Just trying to stay out of it
I think its worse because one of them is having her kids bday party this weekend and I got invited. Friggen awful sitcho. Im glad i wasnt doing the talking but i feel even partially to blame because i was just in there.. and there are mortgages to pay etc, kids to feed and so on.
Just throwing my own pity party.Its a big situation to get my head around it.
My husband has to fire people regulalrly. There is really no easy way of going about it, it sucks. When he does have to fire people he makes a point not to talk about it with the other employees.
Just know that this is just part of life. Sure, we all got bills to pay, mouths to feed, etc. but people (and I feel this especially in the Southern states, no offense!) that people tend to take jobs TOO personally. They just go haywire if things are going to change in their job situation. Coupled with tears, suicide, emo jargon and what not.
You just need to know that a job is a job. There is no need to get too attached to it for any reason. Need to constantly look up and reach high. No need to mourn a loss of a job. There are worse things in life. YES, there are! (You could have lost your loved ones instead.) ONo need to get too attached to the people around you. Be professional, be courteous, do you thing and move on. I have learned this lesson the very, VERY, VERY hard way. Once and for all! And believe you me, life is much more simpler and serene. I always, ALWAYS have a back up plan. My resume is ALWAYS up-to-date. And I trust no one.
It sucks having to write people up and fire them, but it seems like you've got a good head on your shoulders about how to handle it. Address the fact that they're gone, and then drop it. If anyone tries to talk about it, they're just gossiping, and nip it in the bud. Sorry that you're left cleaning up this mess :/
*hugs*

Sorry, there are no users yet.
making me sooo miserable. One of them burst into tears.
We are making big changes at our work and i got asked to go in and be a 'witness' to the conversation and take minutes of the meeting. Each meeting went for about 25 minutes. One employee was let go last week due to non performance, which was understandable. She was pretty lazy but these employees I really like and they achieve their goals.
To top it off the boss is heading overseas tomorrow for a week, so he drops the bombshell and we are left to pick up the pieces.
Anyone have words of wisdom? How have you handled a situation like this?
My plan is for tomorrow, acknowledge that it happened and then just move on. No gossip no politics kind of thing if anyone asks.
the GFC is really kinda hitting our field now. I know the GFC happened awhile ago but it has just really started to affect the export market and business in rural centres now.
:( There is no way that I would like to be in the bosses shoes.
Just a miserable sitcho!
