Well my nerves are shot
I had anxiety all day as it was because of the person I had to let go. Today was his last day. Then when he left he pulled some personally directed immature bs. Gah. What is wrong with people!!!
But I will not drink!

Glad to hear you are making it through the day. My workplace is going through a huge re-organization too and I've had to tell people they don't ( or wont ) have jobs, or make them re-apply for the same job they have at a lower pay rate, etc. It's no fun and I don't blame them for being mad, I would be pissed if the tables were turned too!
Hard to let go of those things but I try to leave work at work if I can...it's difficult but possible.

Congrats on staying sober today. Having bad anxiety and dealing with it without a drink is hard!!! I was the same yesterday, but blow me down with a feather I too stayed sober! Just goes to show its not impossible.
Did you work on any strategies today, to help you deal with your anxiety? X

Letting someone go is always stressful. I used to hate to have to do it to an employee even when they deserved it due to lack of performance. The two times I had to fire someone because they were stealing didn't make me feel badly, but there was still some degree of stress involved.
Getting back on point, it was a stressful day for all involved, but you're keeping focused on what's important for you and that's a very good mindset.

What bothers me, and I know I shouldn't let it, is that he purposefully made it personal. I may not yet have the skills to handle these things in the best way but I didn't make it personal .. And for someone at least fifteen years my senior he should know and behave in a more professional manner. Bit ticked me off but also reaffirmed that I made the right decision in letting him go.
