pufferfishnz Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi all! the outcome from the meeting was a list of about 6 things that needed to be fix or attended to ranging from: - not banking $10 in cash, leaving it in safe for a week. - not charging for photocopying at the end of 1 month (but its all on file so it can be charged at any time) - not using the correct forms for taking down phone messages or credit card details (both of these forms are too small to get lots of info on) - credit card refund that had to be passed onto a ticketing company, but wasnt completed even though they had all the correct information (this is her fault how???) there were some others but i cant rememeber them now. She was given a verbal warning, and was requested to think of how she can fix these things in the future. Right, so all of this happened about a month ago, and shes adhered to all her new things that have to be fixed only to be told yesterday that she has to attend ANOTHER meeting. This time the things include: - not putting a file in correct folder on computer (but it could still be accessed by all who needed to see it) - passing on a job to someone who was supposed to be dealing with it (was to do with writing cheques etc, and she doesnt do that), they didnt do anything about it, and she gets in trouble! - no doing petty cash at the end of the month (there was none to tally up) She was told there was another meeting, bring a support person. She hasnt been given a time or date, or who it to be present. No written request for this meeting has been received by her. And she still hasnt been given a written copy of her verbal warning. Does anyone else think all of the above "sins" are just a little silly?? :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oO SKIPPY Oo Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 sounds like nit picking to me - maybe she needs to start looking for another job where she will be appreciated for the good work she does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pufferfishnz Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 yeah thats what i have said, its just not very easy to find a job in that city and being an 'older' person it is also hard too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broms2 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 looks like they want her gone for some reason, I don't think our company would keep an administration person for more than a week if this stuff was " serious misconduct" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pufferfishnz Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 yes i know and i agree. the boss clearly (before this all came up) had a problem with her, and i know how some businesses go about getting rid of staff without having to give all the warnings etc. I was told to do it myself, so i am well aware of what is going on :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 This is when it is a good time to belong to a union. It sounds like a personality clash and management are trying to set it up for a justified dismissal. I think if it was me I would suggest they give me 10k as a comensatory payment (no tax) and I will walk. It is not much fun working for a place that wants to get rid of you.

pufferfishnz Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 haha 10k would probably send that place under. its a great thought though. id say they wouldnt want to give her anything. but i dont think they will have enough to dismiss her correctly. the board that has to approve all hiring and firing wouldnt approve this firing.
