Tough Morning

My company downsized today. I had to layoff 4 of my 9 reps.
I know it has to be done, but it sure sucks. Without a doubt, today was the worst day of my professional career.

I've never done more than one at a time, and that sucks. I can't imagine four - hope you can get some sleep tonight.

that is a horrible feeling - I know first hand. One thing to think about (and I don't know what company you work for) but if by the term "rep" you mean sales reps then I would start thinking about why a company is reducing it's revenue generation engine. usually, operations, finance and accounting are the ones that take a hit when SG&A reductions are called for.
sorry to hear that you had to do that. it's not personal so keep that perspective on things.

Could be worse. You could be one of the four.
