Words of Comfort for Broken Heart of a Boss
I know you feel sad right now, you have lost a job you loved. It’s not the end of the world.
I’m crushed and heartbroken too, but I have to tell you; as I watched you walk out of this office today and all the tears running down your face, I realized something.
You are not alone. This is not just about you. As hard as it is to believe right now, there are people in this world who care about you and want to see you succeed.
All these years we spent together as colleagues have made me more than your boss. I am here for you.
I have always tried my hardest to be a good employee and to show that I am a team player. But today I was called into the office and told that I was fired.
When I walked out of the office and headed back up to my cubicle to gather my things, I noticed you were in there crying at your desk.
You looked so sad sitting there all alone. To cheer you up I brought your favorite candy bar from downstairs and put it on your desk.
I feel for you…I understand that you’re in pain. I know what you’re going through.
Now even more than ever, you have to be strong. Even though it may look like the end of the road…have faith that not every storm ends in a flood.
Just know that those who care about you will always be by your side-I will!
We’ve worked together for years. If it makes you feel any better, I’ll keep on working until I reach my pension.
Life goes on and things will turn out just fine. Good luck and take care.
I am glad to see you back. Your job is waiting for you. Charge me higher fees and I will give your heart back immediately.
I am sure one of your friends goes through the same thing. To realize that you are not alone makes life worth living again.
Having someone to turn to makes all the difference when you are down. Stay strong and know I understand.
you are so amazing. Whatever happens, know that I will always be there for you. Hell, I changed my mind, I’m marrying you not him anyway! Call me sometime!
You are special, like a star that shines brighter than all the rest.
I know that you didn’t get the job, or were fired. I know it seems like the end of the world right now.
It seems impossible to bounce back, maybe even hopeless. But, I am writing you this letter for one reason only; to tell you that it is NOT the end of your world.
You can still make an incredible life for yourself and those you love. It’s not too late, no matter how bad things seem right now.
I wish I could tell you everything will be okay, but I can’t. What I can say is that time heals pain and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Remember that I care about you and genuinely want to help you through this tough time in your life.
You are awesome my dear and I value your friendship more than you could ever imagine!
These words are meant to express how important you are to me, but when I look at you I can see how beautiful you are.
You have a smile for me every day that lets me know we’re going to work together again someday. That is why I’m writing this letter.”
It’s been some time since you’ve heard from me. Things have been rough and I just haven’t wanted to talk or see anyone.
I didn’t even look at all the many emails that you sent me because they were too painful to read.
I am writing now to tell you that I love and appreciate everything you have done for me.
I don’t know what my life would have been like without your friendship and mentorship.
I believe in you. I know this is just one bump in the road on your way to greatness. You have a heart of gold and deserve only the best.
I will miss you terribly but, am so happy for you and can’t wait to see where life leads you next.
I have the utmost confidence that you will continue to rock it wherever you are.
You’ll be fine. I know it’s not easy to lose your job especially when you have put so much of yourself into it for so long. You will find something else, don’t worry.
It may not be right away, but you will always land on your feet. You are the smartest, most hard-working man I know, and it won’t be long before you land on your feet again!
I am proud to be doing such a wonderful job. You can trust that I have the best intentions for both our company and you.
I hope things come out all right with the court proceeding and that there won’t be any hard feelings between us.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your friends in the future. It would be my pleasure to help you in any way I can.
Let’s be clear, you are a bad boss. No one likes a bad boss. But worst of all is that you are a bad friend.
I’ve been with you since the beginning, and you stabbed me in the back by allowing my best friend to take over.
I never thought it would come to this, but you have left me with no other choice: I quit!
I quit. I´m leaving this company and I will never return. I hope you know that when you lose me, you will lose all passion, drive, and fire that made this company so successful.
You have taken the best years of my life, the years where I had to make a living while going to school to receive my degree.
If anyone asks I won´t lie, I will tell them how terrible and boring your job was. How you didn’t allow me to
I appreciate all the honest work that you have put into this company.
I was shocked to hear of my loan rejection from an e-lender, a subsidiary of the bank, because of your excellent credit rating and the large amount of collateral provided by your house mortgage.
You were a big part of our team and a trusted partner. We will still honor the contract that we signed with you for the past four years.
My heart breaks for you today. I know life is difficult and at times unfair.
I want to hold you close and tell you everything will be ok. It will be better tomorrow than today, and it will be better the day after that too.
What you need today is a kind word, a gentle hug, and some love from someone who cares about you. Take this as a sign of my love for you.
I will always be here for you, even when you need me the most. I know that your heart is hurting right now, but I wish I could take it all away.
I want nothing more than to fix your pain and give you comfort.
Just remember that I am here for you no matter what. Remember that my love will carry you on through anything.
I hope this letter won’t be taken the wrong way, but I’m writing it to you to let you know it’s going to be okay.
I know you probably feel so lost right now, but these feelings don’t last forever.
You are an amazing boss and an even better woman! I will always have your back and be there for you no matter what.
This world will come crawling back to you, and one day very soon YOU will be on top again!
You’re a great leader. You’re also a great person. Life is too short to waste time on things you cannot control.
You need to stay positive and move on. Once business picks up again, look out world!
What matters are the people that you love? The people you work with, party with, and live with. And yes, even the ones that you cry with. Because they are what life is all about.
You must take pleasure in what you do and find great enjoyment in what you put your time into.
Your presence here has meant so much to me and if there’s anything I can do to make this transition easier for you please let me know.
Thank you for everything you did, Thank you really for being there.
You know I’m usually not the kind of person to write things like this down, but I wanted you to know that I appreciated all the work and effort you put into this organization.
I wish we could have come to some kind of resolution when everything happened.
It would have been so much easier if we had communicated directly with one another.
Many people believe that they are good leaders. One of the most important things for a boss is to always follow the rule of leading by example, and in return, you will gain more respect.
Sadly, this has been lost on many people, and many bosses have abused their positions through greediness with no regard for anyone.
We’ve been through a lot together, not all of it great, but I’m thankful for the experiences it brought us to. It was no easy task trying to manage you.
You challenged me in ways I had never faced before, and sometimes still do today. It was a pleasure and an honor getting to work with you.
I was walking my dog today and I think a lot about you. I still remember how much fun we had together during the time we all worked in the same office.
I am so sorry that you quit working because of the downsizing in the company. Haha, at that time, I felt like I needed to wear earmuffs because you said things so loud!
Well, they may have broken your heart, but they can’t break my love for you. I know things will get better for you. I just feel it.
So stay strong and know that you have all my support! Always!
I support you. You are the reason I had a better life and the reason I got a better job. YOU ARE THE BOSS!
Be strong! Use this as an opportunity for you to find a job that will be a blessing for the rest of your life. It’s not the end, it’s the beginning.
I’m so sorry to hear about your job. I know how much you love it and how devoted you were to the company.
I hope this doesn’t change our relationship. I’ve always seen you as a friend, someone that will listen when I need them the most.
You are the most understanding person I know and I truly appreciate your friendship.
Being unemployed doesn’t take away your power of being a boss. You will try to remember your useful skill to find a new position.
If you fail, you should consider yourself as a freelance person, or find a good idea for an online business.
The day you will be successful, I will help you out when you are in need.
I don’t want you to be concerned too much about me, I already know all the hardship you got from your boss because of me.
I’ll love you always until the end forever and ever. I hope the next chapter of your life is brightly written.
I know you are hurt and you feel like the whole world is against you.
It just might not look that way right now, but I promise it will. Good things are coming for you. I can feel it!
I know how you feel, no one ever told me but I’ve been there. Your positive outlook on life is what will get you through this.
Everyone fails sometime, but it’s how you get up that defines you.
Losing a job is rough, but losing you would be so much worse. All I want to say is that I love you and hope you’ll continue to spread happiness to others.
You are a wonderful person. I am honored to have met you.
You are always there for me and especially when I need emotional support; I’ll never forget that.
I wish you success in everything you do and abundance in all things. Know that you will forever be in my heart.
You are a strong, intelligent, and caring person. Hold your head up high and know that you will always have our support.
My complete sympathy goes out to you. I know how you feel right now and I’m here for you.
I still need your leadership, guidance, and wisdom. You are awesome! So don’t give up!
We all know that your birthday is on Feb. 14th, also known as Valentine’s Day. To make up for the gift you didn’t receive, I have this office outfitted for you with beautiful flowers and gifts.
I don’t think any amount of purchases could express how much you mean to me.
You are my best friend and my boss, but most importantly you are a wonderful friend and a great person. I’m so lucky to have you in my life.
My friend, you are strong and brave. I know it is hard to get through this now but life has other plans for you.
Your beautiful heart, determination, and integrity will get you through. You will do great things.
God loves you and will give you amazing opportunities!!! I promise!
I need to say no matter what happens, don’t ever lose hope. You are the most valuable person I know.
If you are looking for comfort then read on, if not then stop reading now. You idiotic, short-sighted imbecile. You were a top-heavy failed zookeeper of a man. How dare you fail in your duties…
YOUR GREAT! Keep on going, don’t you let the bastards grind you down: Show them what you can do. And most importantly never forget you are loved by so many of us.
I promise I will do everything to make sure we get out of this together. We are a team. Please, be patient with me.
I know that I’m tough and that I can be overly critical but it’s because I care. No one in the world can take my place. I’m so sorry for not being able to take your pain away.
I’m in shock, I just don’t understand. I’ve never been fired before.
It was my first job and they let me go without any warning! I know it’s not my fault but I can’t help but feel bad about myself.
How am I going to make it without a job? How am I going to pay the bills? This isn’t fair! What happened?! My life is ruined!
I hope this doesn’t come across as too forward. I think that in another life we would have crossed paths.
I only wanted to let you know that I’m there for you, even though we don’t know one another.
Sorry to hear about your job…I know things are hard right now, but I want you to know that I am here for you.
I hope this little gift can help you feel a little better. Take care of yourself and remember that I love you.
I know you’re feeling low and crushed right now. My heart aches for you because I know the hurt you are going through.
Sometimes in life, things don’t go our way and we get disappointed. But it’s okay to feel emotions, it’s natural.
Tears are a natural response to negative feelings, so please don’t hold them back just let them out.
It’s time to take a deep breath and when you’re ready open this little note again and finish reading this letter…
I wish your broken heart will heal soon and could help but smile again. Good luck with your new job search.
I found one too, they told me to come back tomorrow, they said they love to see me.
I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you. But I had to be. Your boss just called me.
I convinced him that you were not a bad employee and that your termination was extreme and unwarranted.
Hate me if you want, love me if you can… I don’t deserve it either. You won my heart, but, it was never enough.
If you are reading this note then I have left this world behind me, but please do not let that bring you sorrow. I am not dead, but entering a life beyond time and space.
My spirit will always be with you to guide you in your life’s journey.
The years we worked together were the best years of my life. You made them that way.
You were like a father to me, working so hard for those you loved.
It is not easy to be human, and it won’t get easier anytime soon.
When you’re feeling down and lonely, so I say this to you – remember that you are a champion, a visionary, a brave warrior for change and you always know how to pick yourself up.
You are loved by everyone who has the joy of knowing you, including me.
I would like to tell that I am so very sorry for all of the pain you must be feeling right now. Mind you I know how hard it is to lose a person you love because I lost my wife too.
