Things I don't like about being a boss

The news I will have to give to half my employees (2 of 4) next Monday morning.

We build oil pipelines. Oil has gone from over $140 to just over $40.

Not too hard to figure out what the news is.

We have our company holiday party Saturday night. It will be tough to be festive.

:(

I'm O.K.....for now. At least that is what they are letting me think. They are allowing me to spend $thousands bringing in consultants next week for a project I'm managing.

No, the people who work for me now can not do what the consultants are doing. They are actually employees of a company we are purchasing software for and they are consulting on the implementation.

I hope they're not saving any news for you until after you do their dirty work on Monday. :(
