The first time he ever had to fire someone, Andy cried. It was horrible and I like gave the dude like two weeks worth of pay and cash because I didn't have any fucking money.

In today's episode, Andy answers your questions on what to do when you go into business with a company that doesn't align with your values, whether bosses and employees can be friends without strings attached, and how to go about providing feedback to your co-workers as a new leader.
