Fuck this stupid fucked up virus and all of its fallout. Drinking myself silly tonight.

Better to press the button than to be the button, sadly.

I get it, but he’s a good kid who’s literally done nothing wrong. I’d rather have him that one of the people who gets to stay on.

Sounds like they have promise. They’ll do fine. And if merit doesn’t matter at your work, maybe it’s good they get a running start...

Down the Rabbit Hole it is then. Good luck.

That sucks. I’ve never let anyone go, but that day is coming soon, I’m quite sure.

I tend to believe these things work out for the best - hopefully it leads him to bigger and better things.

I am sorry to hear that. It’s not easy at all. Went through that last week and it sucked.

Either we close down tomorrow, or staff get laid off.

My wife had to let seven people at her office go last week. Massage therapists aren’t considered to be health care providers. Several people would disagree with that notion.  She killed a whole bottle of wine that night.

I live in Germany. The company I work for (185 people) will reduce working hours for every single employee with 50% starting April first, management included. No one is let go. As the government will help out a bit, everyone still gets 80% of their original net salary (87% if you have kids). Not bad, but it still sucks. These are hard times...

I know you’ll do a good job of taking care of the situation because of this very consideration, but definitely make it a point to show appreciation for his ethic and diligence .

While out and about interacting with employees at various establishments in day to day life, you notice the ones that work hard and consistently. I feel a majority are so damn lackadaisical . Hard workers stand out.

My worry is that many hard workers wear down quickly and their ethic diminishes as they see those around them loafing about for the same pay and often find their efforts not being appreciated. I’ve been there time after time and know many others in similar boats. I’ve maintained my ethic, but not everyone does.

A hard worker can land on their feet and pick right back up, but it’s so important to recognize their effort, appreciate it and encourage it so they’ll maintain that zeal and be part of the solution rather than the problem.

I hate it for you though and wish you the best.

Rabbit Hole is good shit, this is their Rye, which is also damn good. Not as good as Peerless Rye, but close.
