Today, I fired all 12 of my employees, purely out of anger and frustration. Realizing my mistake when I'd calmed down, I called each employee and apologized, asking if they'd come back. Only one said yes. The mailroom clerk. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I accidentally emailed the entire company everyone's salary, sales history, and the names of four people I intended to fire. FML
Today, I made a mistake at work that got seven people fired. I'm scared to leave the office because they're all outside. FML
Today, I had to fire an employee due to his staggering incompetence. The moment I said the F-word, he started fake-coughing, then loudly humming, then went to his desk and pretended not to hear anything I was saying. It took 3 of us to drag him out of the building kicking and screaming. FML
Today, I had to call a coworker to the office via the store intercom. The damn thing didn't turn off properly and everyone heard me say, "I hate that asshole. Just be where your dumb ass should be." I realized my mistake a few seconds before my manager stormed in and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, I had to fire an employee because she constantly calls in, or is late to work. She became very emotional and I felt kind of bad, so I walked her out myself. We then got stuck in the company elevator. FML
Today, after coming out of a meeting during which I promised my employees better wages, I was met at the door by my CEO telling me to lay off all the employees I just talked to. FML
Today, one of my employees was fired for refusing to do a basic job necessity. After the meeting with HR, he left the office and tried to go back to work. FML
Today, I tried to fire the worst worker I've ever had over the phone because he never shows up for work anymore. He said no and went crazy. HR and the police are now involved. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. My boss turned to everyone and said, "Allow me to escort this trash out of the office." Everyone cheered. FML

You might just need anger management classes if you fired your whole staff out of pure frustration.

Can't blame your former employees. Fearing you could get fired on a whim is not a great incentive to come back.

You aren't very smart. Best close your business now.

while I agree OP needs some anger management and for sure ****** up... they aren't a monster, they aren't a horrible human being, they aren't any worse than any one else as far as we know... they messed up and tried to fix it. how many people have stormed out based on anger or frustration the difference is that OP is management. people read someone else messing up and jump all over them, if OPs company fails it's on them, but at least they tried to fix things. I have personally seen companies fire entire shifts of 10 year plus to see if new people would be better at it...

Managers (good ones, anyway) have some sort of formal training in working with and leading people. Firing one or two can be put on anger and frustration. Firing the entire staff is more along the lines of a psychotic break. Even if the boss is sorry, people would have to be stupid to come back.

This is why it is such a terrible idea to make big decisions when you are angry.

Man, don't you just hate it when you get stuck with the consequences of your own actions?

If all you did was apologize and not offer something for the incident like a raise, extra vacation day, bonus, as well as a promise to go to anger management, you insulted them twice. I’m sure that shit is all over your areas job search groups by now. You are either going to get gouged since employees know you are hard up or go out of business. Blow ups like that take a lot of action to make up for. I had my share before my bipolar was diagnosed and treated. If this wasn’t your first over the top blow up, I feel bad for you. If it wasn’t and you did nothing to ensure it wouldn’t happen again, have fun cleaning up this mess. Hope you learn from it.

I know this isn’t the point but a 12 person company with a dedicated mail room clerk? How much mail does a company with 12 employees get?

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Did you at least offer your victims a raise?
