I’m letting go of an employee this week, and it’s making me feel terrible. I’m wracked with guilty and full of empathy.
I’m still letting them go, but any advise on how to not feel so emotionally guilty for firing someone?

Don’t think of it as firing someone. Think of it as saving everyone else. The health of the firm demands it. Too bad, let them down as easy as you can, but they have to go.
You should watch “Up In The Air” a movie about a guy who fires people for a living. You might even get his speech by heart.
