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.
