He&#x27;s been with us for long enough we (meaning I) should have recognized that earlier, so part of the problem was my fault - poor management.<p>This just really sucks. It&#x27;s like if I do poorly other people lose.<p>Maybe I&#x27;m overly sensitive to this because I&#x27;ve been fired before and it really sucked, but it was devastating. I don&#x27;t want him to have the same experience I did, because he doesn&#x27;t deserve it.
