That may sound harsh, but that is the reality of operating a small business in 2012. I do my best to land jobs to keep everyone working 40+hrs/wk but that doesn't always happen.
As for those who need to be fired, I am glad to operate in a state that doesn't interfere with my right to fire people as I see fit.

Most people that have never had to make a payroll, won't understand that.
