I think things at work aren't going well. CEO has been really stressed out the past three weeks and on Tuesday when we were at lunch he said he was going to forego his pay for the next few months (he was raising funds for our company, but obviously because of the bank stuff going on that's become difficult).
So today I saw that he had a termination of employment contract (of his employment) on his desk, and we talked about what we'd do if we needed new jobs. I think we're all going to get notice of redundancy on Tuesday. It's unbelievable really, because I just got made redundant last year, and I thought I was really lucky to get the job I have. Anyway, I can probably get something new. It's just not ideal and a bit worrying thinking about the mortgage etc.
So, the real thing that's made me feel sad is that CEO seemed so down. He said this morning that he wanted to go out and have some drinks, but it didn't get arranged. I guess I could have invited him for one, but he seemed distracted and I didn't do it. In retrospect I should have I suppose. My heart just goes out to him and I wanted to be reassuring, reach out and say something good but I didn't manage it. I wish there was something I could do- he's so stressed and he has no-one. Well, he has himself and is pretty self-sufficient so I'm sure he's fine. You know when you're stressed out and just need a hug though? I feel like I could do with a hug tonight and at least I'm going to get paid for a while longer.
Any ideas for things I could do to support him? I know it's not strictly DB as he's not my H, but he's been so sweet to me the past months since I've worked there and I'd like to be supportive. I'm going to work this weekend, so I guess that's a start.
