DIFFICULT DAY

Yesterday was a difficult day because I had to tell two of our staff they were no longer needed from the end of this month.
I will not go into the exact reasons here because it's not fair but it's essentially a mismatch of their skills and our requirements. Although I appointed the team it's the editor that has to work with everyone, and I back his judgement to assemble to best team to produce the best possible product. As I said to both of these people, being good just isn't enough for this magazine.
I have no doubts whatsoever that both these people will find excellent jobs that can make better use of their skills and talents. Good luck in the future.
