Load of ******** tbh being dismissed
Dismissed Over Dogs Death.......
- Thread starter MadMan-JaMeS
- Start date
Well apparently they gave the option.
Absence reason was unacceptable to the business so find your own cover or get fired.
As opposed to normal absence where it doesn't matter why, the manager just has to deal with it.
We had a manager who needed to take the weekend off to attend a funeral for a family bereavement. He had been 'ordered' to go by his girlfriend's parents, so everyone was speculating whether it was some rich auntie or the like, but no...
It was the cat's funeral.

If I had taken that call you'd have two choices, come in to work, or P45.

She should have been prepared for this with a dog of that age. It is rare for dogs to outlive their owners. It's very weak to get so upset, I would have to work with someone like that.
I was the one who took calls, and I'm valued enough not to get sacked over a few days off lol
Obviously not on that day you weren't...

she was only in the job for 6 months, probably still on probation
you need to tread carefully in that period. manager does sound like a bit of a tool too though

My manager is actually super cool when it comes to looking after her staff, but it's a two way street, I've come in to work at 8am on a Saturday without being asked because I knew the person who was due to be in couldn't make it just so our team didn't look bad and so our manager didn't look bad. If someone like @rubberduck was my manager I'd stay in bed and let him take the fall off his boss. I always treat people who were a lower grade than me with respect and like adults because I knew I'd need something from them at some point and they'd be far more willing to go out of their way to do it if they liked me. This is something good managers understand.
Yes but let's face it, who would want to work anywhere where someone like you has a position of responsiblity, and as if that would ever happen.

As I am your manager - you are sacked right now on the spot for not having compassion against an employee. How does it feel now? You found a new job yet?
as your boss, you're sacked right now for unfair dismissal. how does that feel, got a new job yet?
they did manage. they informed her that her reason for absence was not acceptable so she had to come in to work, or find her own cover.
why have you suddenly now seen the light?
and you're in an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal.

Its fine I don't want to work in any place like this where there is no compassion, company sucks.
Found a new job somewhere else straight away. No problems at all.
mrbell will struggle for that new job because he's been sacked for gross misconduct. when any potential future employers look into the specifics they'll run a mile (or at least quite a few of them will) Shame, seemed like a nice guy. just didn't understand management very well.

Nope, found a new job straight away. I walked away from the job due to no compassion for staff.
how'd you talk your way round the gross misconduct firing from your previous job?
