It was unpleasant and it was hard, I mean REALLY hard, and it still is.
Running your own Business comes with a lot of challenges of it's own.

That same boss wanted me to "convince" someone that rolled up under me to leave the firm, knowing she was having her own issues and was considering quitting, so our account wouldn't have to eat the cost of her severance, since she was tagged for roll off due to planned contract terms to reduce headcount. Wtf kind of person does that to someone else? It's not like you're paying it out of your own pocket. I went the opposite way and made sure my team member just held out until they eventually laid her off, but at least she got the severance she deserved.
