It s**ked every single time.
Yet it never s**ks as much as it does for the person who's on the other side of the table (I've been there too).
Roy Perlson from Jobago and I recently discussed those experiences and how companies can have a compassionate approach as well as provide essential support (such as outplacement services) to the people who are losing their job.
