While my boss was away in Europe, our biggest client decided to fire the firm. That was impossible. It would mean layoffs. It might even mean shutting down completely. My boss was unreachable, and I had no idea what to do. I set up a meeting, and when I did I discovered they were firing us, and it didn’t even have anything to do with our performance. I had to do something, and when a crazy comment was made, I just went with it. Before I could really think about it, I’d agreed to take on three guys at once! It meant a really rough time, but it also meant everyone would still be working at the firm next week!
