Earlier that day, Chris was in his office going over some data for a presentation that was due the following morning. While some might find the task arduous, Chris enjoyed it thoroughly.
"Hey Chris, you got a minute?"
Chris turned to see the General Manager poking his head into his office.
"Yep, what's up?"
"Can you come into my office for a few moments?"
"Sure sure."
It wasn't unusual for the GM to approach him like this, so Chris had no reservations as he followed the middle-aged man into his large office.
"Can you close the door?"
Only after hearing these words did Chris feel that something was odd. The guy often worked with his door open, unless it was official business that required some form of confidentiality.
However, he had no choice but to agree.
"Take a seat."
Boom... Chris has lost his job. What will happen now?
As a father, many of these thoughts run through my head all the time. Since we're the head of the family, there's a lot of pressure that can build up as we try and shield them from harm.
If you're struggling, please reach out to someone, anyone. Just remember, you're not alone, no matter how much it feels that way.
Sorry for the little rant. The next few chaps will get pretty heavy.
