I fired 90% of my team after a disastrous 2 years of only 65% satisfaction rate + lost a tone of money. I was afraid of losing everything if i had fired the 90%. I was a big problem myself too as I was the one who hired them and they were allowed to do as they please because I let them. So one day, I just fired everyone, and decided to move to another location with a better rent and switched up all our structure. It took me around 3 to 6 weeks to process it. after 4 years of that decision, my company is on track for 1 million in sales annually with 300k profit a year for 3 years in a row. so that was the most insane thing I've done....
I still remember the aftermath of the 1st day of letting everyone go..... i was sitting alone in the office and going "what the f have i done", i sold all the items / furnitures and prepare to move to a newer place. Insane heavy loans breathing down my neck, and I just decided I had enough of a toxic environment, and decided to make a change and take responsibility for my mistakes.
So.. for what it's worth.. that's my story lol
Damn that took guts! Congrats glad it worked out well for you
