It never gets any easier letting someone go

I thought this was 100% going to be about an ex.

I thought someone passed away, no joke.

MANY companies are violating the employees contract and firing employees for this.

Problem is this. Back in COVID, many jobs were offered as remote. They were fully remote. No need to work in the office. No need to be near the office. No need to live in or near the city. Millions of these workers moved out of the cities, to the suburbs for a lower cost of living, and a better place to raise a family.

Now 5 years later, they are renigging on these contracts, changing the terms, and requiring people to work in a local office. Even though they live thousands of miles away and their offer never required in person working at a local office.

I'm not saying that's the case in the original post, but I have heard of this happening all over the country to remote workers.

This happened to about 60 former co-workers.

Yea, I had the thought my 1st wife sure never had a problem letting someone go...

Seriously, that same can be said for my last job of 20 years and me letting my employer go. I gave it all I had but the day the boss upset me once again with his crazy BS disrespect, to the point I had chest pains, I handed him my keys and walked away. I had never taken a sick day and only 4 weekends ( so called vacations ) off in 20 years!

It was not just a job but my life, my identity, it has truly set me back and the hardest thing I have ever done except Divorce but I'm still alive, had I stayed I'm not so sure as stress and BS kills.

You likely have done the guy a favor. If he’s truly good, he should not have any problems finding another job that is WFH and likely more pay.
