His vision is nothing but empty words. No need for any guilt.

I had to leave a role (non-consulting) 1 month after we spent a full day planning out strategic initiatives for the next year and assigning who would own what. I got some of the coolest choice projects.

In the end, you have to do what's best for your future as much as it sucks for your current team.

Don’t feel guilty for a second, could have all been smoke and mirrors. Words are cheap.

His vision is for you to feel motivated and billable so he gets paid, regardless of what he says

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.
