It’s never easy letting colleagues go. In 2008, the university I was working for lost over 30% of the institution’s annual operating budget due to the market crash of the Great Recession. To balance the budget, the university eliminated a significant number of administrative positions. It was difficult “laying off” members of the team, many of whom were close colleagues, and knowing that once I finished, my own position was likely going to be eliminated, which it was.
