Had to fire people in the past. Not an easy thing to do. However, it lifts a lof the weight from your shoulders if you know social security is going to take care of them. Plus, if you reverse the roles here: If you as an employer would prolong their jobs by paying them from your savings until your company/you yourself go bankrupt, none of your employees would return that favor. I've seen it many times.
