Re: Oh. TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 20/10/2009 01:47:33 PM
I wasn't aware he was late and unprepared because he was giving birth at the time of the presentation.

Thats because you're a horrible sexist
Have you never seen the film Junior?
So his ego was more important to him than his obligation? But that same ego wouldn't prevent him from expecting/accepting that his company lower their expectations of him and hold him to a lower standard than the rest of their employees?

Most people (men in particular if you believe some of the vocal women who blame male bankers for the recession) are quite proud, and there is a difference between accepting and expecting to take a back seat during a stressful period. The company might well have offered him such a role, or he refused to take paternity leave, in which case it's clearly an unavoidable situation.
Of course all I was basing my comments on was what was written in the OP, if he's been taking holidays to the caribbean and stealing office supplies then thats another matter.

It could be if his "mistake" had consequences for the company beyond what they were willing to accept.

Then in my humble oppinion he shouldn't have been put in a position to make those mistakes, if he's there by his own choice then of course it's his fault, as I said, we dont know enough details to give a full analysis, I'm simply going on what was written.

Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

So you're against maternity pay? TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 12:29:07 AM 519 Views
Where I work you have to use your sick leave and annual leave to cover maternity leave. Tashmere - 20/10/2009 01:26:34 AM 468 Views

That's why it's an employer and not a social worker... Antigone - 20/10/2009 09:58:00 PM 515 Views
