Should I Sacrifice Someone's Job for the Good of the Company?
If we eliminate the software, we basically eliminate the job of the developer who I have a pretty friendly relationship with. But the company comes first. If we keep losing money hand over fist the company goes under and so do I.
The funny thing is that the CFO was asking my advice. I've gained a lot of clout over the years with him. By agreeing with him I fear that I may have influenced his decision. I hate politics. I just want to solve problems using technology, not be responsible for folks getting fired.
Even worse, he mentioned that he might have to eliminate my supervisor's and the developer's jobs if he were to go with the OTS solution. That made me feel even worse.
Should I be feeling bad? Should I have taken a neutral stance or really have told him how I felt? He assured me that our conversation was confidential.
