My company’s going through a rough patch, and as one of the upper management, I have to work with HR to lay off some staff. I really don’t want to let anyone go, especially the younger staff who’ve brought so much energy and potential. It’s my first time dealing with this, and I want to do it with as much empathy and respect as possible. Any advice on how to handle these conversations and support them through this tough period? Appreciate any pointers 🙏🏻
