Yep - and it sucks SilverWarder Send a noteboard - 20/10/2009 07:05:35 PM
The guy I had to let go richly deserved it as well. He wasn't a bad person, but you don't work as a driver where you get in two accidents in under a week, one totalling a company vehicle.

Quite simply, not suited to the job.

I feel for you - entirely. I do hope the fellow had some warning because being terminated for one muck up seems a bit extreme unless it was REALLY egregious.

May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.

"coming down from ON high" is the proper expression Tom - 19/10/2009 09:46:41 PM 536 Views
Thank you. I did not know that. *NM* The Secret Lurker - 20/10/2009 01:38:46 AM 194 Views
...does that matter if he didn't do his job, and that had negative consequences for the company? *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 19/10/2009 06:28:03 PM 208 Views
As long as its ok for people to sack women who get pregnant TheCrownless - 19/10/2009 07:59:58 PM 516 Views
Women who get pregnant and are using that as an excuse to not do their jobs? Sure. Sareitha Sedai - 19/10/2009 09:11:56 PM 529 Views

I agree. Companies aren't charities. Tom - 19/10/2009 09:47:43 PM 461 Views
So you're against maternity pay? TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 12:29:07 AM 516 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 465 Views
Same with my job... Antigone - 20/10/2009 01:56:00 AM 448 Views
And nobody gets special treatment. *NM* Tashmere - 22/10/2009 01:16:13 AM 193 Views
Thats just one of the variations of maternity leave I was suggesting. TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 01:50:11 PM 468 Views
But that's what I was addressing when I talked about his choice. Sareitha Sedai - 20/10/2009 01:54:30 PM 466 Views
That's why it's an employer and not a social worker... Antigone - 20/10/2009 09:58:00 PM 511 Views
How is this any different from sick leave? Ghavrel - 20/10/2009 10:20:50 PM 511 Views
Because the person is not there, mainly. Antigone - 21/10/2009 12:54:39 AM 457 Views
You pick up the slack because you're a super-wonderful person TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 10:56:04 PM 456 Views
No, I never said anything of the sort Tom - 20/10/2009 03:14:07 PM 480 Views
I was simply saying TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 11:00:09 PM 420 Views
Had that happen to me. TaskmasterJack - 19/10/2009 04:15:45 PM 501 Views

Did he deserve it???? good question. The Secret Lurker - 20/10/2009 01:38:29 AM 554 Views
Seems like the answer is yes Sareitha Sedai - 20/10/2009 01:37:15 PM 467 Views
Did he try to transfer? Or did he procrastinate or blow off your suggestion? Tashmere - 21/10/2009 03:39:57 AM 452 Views
