nigel99 144 #1 November 16, 2008 [rant]I have had an employee who was extremely lazy/unproductive for some time but because of his skill set we had been putting up with him as with adequate supervision we were on balance better with him than without him. However economic times being what they are we decided 2 weeks ago to make him redundant - however we did need the 4 week notice to get sufficient handover of his work and a mop up being a small company. Anyhow today (Sunday) I get an email saying he's decided not to come in again without completing his contractual handover period. Result - me having to do emergency rescheduling of my time while desperately trying to keep the business afloat. Oh well he can kiss any reference good by now[/rant]Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #5 November 16, 2008 It really pisses me off when someone is willing to throw away a job like that while I sit here unsuccessfully looking for a new and/or 2nd job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
