I had to do that earlier this year and I agree it's no fun at all. I even think I posted earlier in this thread about it looking for advice. I will say that our team has been better since laying off that particular individual. Still, our team still struggles to get employees to increase the number of hours past 40 when we have a huge workload. We are only asking for 45-50hr weeks from time to time, so it isn't completely unreasonable. They are all salary, but our company can pay significant quarterly bonuses when it is profitable quarter for the company (could be possibly 10% of their yearly salary in a quarter). Bonus size potential is something I've been told I can't directly disclose to them either. The owners want people to figure this out on their own and reward the people that are not motivated solely by money. I've been there over 9 years, so I have figured this out. Millennials. Ugh? Wait, I'm a millennial. Ugh to my generation.
