That is why the boss makes more money than the workers. Dedication to the job and because you have to make the tough decisions.
I would not feel bad at all, that guy was systematically destroying his life and soon he would be systematically be destroying YOUR life as well as those of your workers. Your job is to destroy anything that would hinder the prosperity of your company which provides for your workers, you did your job because he did not do his.
If this was just a joke, good story
