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 541 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 209 Views
As long as its ok for people to sack women who get pregnant TheCrownless - 19/10/2009 07:59:58 PM 519 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 534 Views

Like I said... assumptions TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 01:40:23 PM 552 Views

I agree. Companies aren't charities. Tom - 19/10/2009 09:47:43 PM 466 Views
So you're against maternity pay? TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 12:29:07 AM 520 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 470 Views
Same with my job... Antigone - 20/10/2009 01:56:00 AM 453 Views
And nobody gets special treatment. *NM* Tashmere - 22/10/2009 01:16:13 AM 194 Views
Thats just one of the variations of maternity leave I was suggesting. TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 01:50:11 PM 473 Views
But that's what I was addressing when I talked about his choice. Sareitha Sedai - 20/10/2009 01:54:30 PM 469 Views
That's why it's an employer and not a social worker... Antigone - 20/10/2009 09:58:00 PM 516 Views
How is this any different from sick leave? Ghavrel - 20/10/2009 10:20:50 PM 516 Views
Because the person is not there, mainly. Antigone - 21/10/2009 12:54:39 AM 462 Views
You pick up the slack because you're a super-wonderful person TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 10:56:04 PM 459 Views
No, I never said anything of the sort Tom - 20/10/2009 03:14:07 PM 485 Views
I was simply saying TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 11:00:09 PM 425 Views
Had that happen to me. TaskmasterJack - 19/10/2009 04:15:45 PM 505 Views

Did he deserve it???? good question. The Secret Lurker - 20/10/2009 01:38:29 AM 558 Views
Seems like the answer is yes Sareitha Sedai - 20/10/2009 01:37:15 PM 472 Views
Did he try to transfer? Or did he procrastinate or blow off your suggestion? Tashmere - 21/10/2009 03:39:57 AM 457 Views
