Staffing a part time side project that counts towards utilization at my firm. Unfortunately due to small budget cuts had to tell some of the part time staff who were contributing a few hours a week to the project that we would need them to step back from the project. Sent them an email immediately and thanked them for their time, and told them would love to work together again in the future. Is this fine or do I need to also meet with them to reassure them in a case like this?

Typically when this happens, I call them first to break the news. If it’s extremely unexpected I will also email who they directly report to and explain the situation, how it’s not about performance, and I would love to work with them in the future.

Could not call them because they were out sick but had already done hours of work on the project that day while working from home, and were planning to do more so had to stop them right away.

I have an offer For $22k more than I am making now. but I LOVE my current team and it is going to be so hard to leave but I don’t feel right asking for a raise to stay and afraid it will make me look disloyal even if I stay and I get $. So thinking I am going to take the other offer but don’t want to burn my current employer. My current direct manager is out on leave. Would it be unprofessional to still give him a heads up even tho he is on leave? And putting my 2 weeks in with my acting boss?
