Talk about stress....
No, I wasn't stressed out because I almost landed in the blog pit of page two.
I have to fire Amy today and that's stressing me out.
I've done everything I can in the last 6 months to make this work for her. I've even sold stuff and given her the sale so she can get commission on it.
She's just not doing anything. What's sad is she was my brothers friend. She's really a great kid and I feel so bad to have to tell her it's just not working out.
You would think after 6 months, she'd be looking for something more profitable, but, she's living off "Daddy" - so at least here she can say she's employed.
She's chasing her dream of being a stand - up comedian. And she works for free at the comedy club evenings and weekends. Occasionally they let her perform, but she's not that funny.
I have to tell her today that she's cost the company too much money to let things continue this way. And I can't keep doing her work for her. I have enough of a hard time keeping up with my own.
My parent's are Chicken ****'s to fire her because they don't want to "Hurt her feelings" ..... So I'll do it.
But, I'm not happy about it.
And it is stressing me out, I feel responcible - in some strange motherly way - for her. And I wonder if I didn't actually try my best to train her?
In a way - Amy's looking so bad made me look like "wonder woman", coming back from the stroke and still outselling all the sales staff.
I'm not "Wonder Woman' though - and why the hell am I trying to justify firing her in a blog?
It's pathetic that I'm wrestling with this. It's not like I haven't fired people before, a year ago this wouldn't have been an emotional issue for me.
I've turned into a freaking marshmellow!!!
