Having to make redundancies
In 21 years of business I have never before had to make people redundant, until now.
I have managed to keep it to just 4 members of staff, but it is still a very stressful and depressing thing to do, I just hope I never have to do this again!
However much it feels horible I don’t feel guilty, firstly because it is not of my making, I am just at the mercy of economic circumstances, and secondly by making the redundancies I have when I have which is early rather than too late, I will have protected the jobs of all my other staff, and my job of course!
The last thing I would want to do is go and work for someone else after 21 years being self-employed!!
