Fire him then quit and start your own company together.

so, did he get reasonable notice? severance? got to be a firm or two in the area looking to hire :( too many predatory restructures and devaluation of job positions! it's enough to make a person feel sick

Happy Friday everyone. Here's the recap. He took it very well. He was not upset, in fact I think he was a bit relieved. He got an incredible severance package, that includes benefits. We had a great talk, and he invited me over for the Game of Thrones premiere party at his house. Today has been very hectic, since my team of 3 (including me) is now 2, but still doing the work of 3. It's going to be like this for quite some time. Thanks for the support, cunts.

I have to fire someone today. Who was recommended to me by a friend. It's a performance issue. It's just not working. Unable to do the simplest code. This sucks.- Getting fired for sucking at something is a big step towards not sucking at something.nb
- I was wondering why my thread got bumped. Sorry to hear man. It's not fun, is it?DRIFTMONKEY
- Hey bklyndroobeki, for what it's worth I'm a graphic artist and coder looking for wk. ;)GM278

because the position is being eliminated and has nothing to do with his performance makes it a lot easier (not painless mind you). Neither of you really have a choice in the matter as it's already been approved. take him out for lunch and express your condolences and contempt for this shitty incident.

- Thanks.DRIFTMONKEY
