I own my own business and am senior management in a boutique where I direct hiring and firing. Why would I fire myself?

Unbelievable. How did you manage that?

Manage what. Getting him to tell me that?
I brought up that I want to ask my director for a raise. He told me to do it and not worry because at worst they’ll say no for now and push for it later, and at best I’ll get it. But told me he knows they would never even consider firing me. I’m too valuable and they need resources like me. I know our software inside and out and every client loves me. And they have way too many people who have no idea wtf they’re doing.
