Input: Im 26 and I work in an industry that is extremely competitive and has high turn over. I have worked for my company since i was 20, and my boss was once just my senior coworker and friend. He was promoted, and he brought me up the ladder with him.

In the new year our branch is restructuring. We will absorb key personnel from other branches. This presents several difficulties, namely we have an over abundance of people in certain departments.

Theres also increased competition in our branches sales force, which i run. More people means less base pay to go around, more competition means less commissions in the salesmans pockets.

My boss had two choices. Either the entire branch takes a pay cut plus a loss of bounses and we keep everyone, or he fires seven people who are redundant keeping everyone where they're at.

In private I suggested a third option. Eliminate twelve people, including members of our bloated accounting department, and give everyone an unofficial raise next quarter when we get cost of living adjustments.

He ended up firing eleven people based on my advise. In my mind this is just business, but another salesman has called my boss a dick for the layoffs without knowing my part in it. Am i a dick? 

advising my boss that he needs to fire several employees
