I absolutely was and still am. I provided employment, the salary from which he used to raise his family and provide a good life for them all. He was well aware of my beliefs and the lack of tolerance for certain issues. And he put me in the position of having to do it - a fact that he acknowledged even while we were discussing his departure. He, to this day, apologizes because he knows I lament the lack of his talents at my company.
In a million years I would have never subjected my best friend to the treatment you dished out. Ever hear of a warning ? The left just sits back & laughs, really, why do they need to do any of the dirty work since most so-called conservatives are well-trained to do it for them.
It’s your company & your rules, so go to it, but you are no best friend in my book.
