Being pregnant gives no one the right to be a shitty employee. She was one of the worst I’ve seen and she cost the company tens of thousands of dollars. We owed her nothing. Yes, it was unfortunate that she was pregnant but that wasn’t permission for her to behave like she did. She and the other I fired at the same time almost caused that center to be shut down. Pregnancy doesn’t excuse that.

Maybe being pregnant does give one the right to be a shitty employee? I don't know, just spitballing. Let's brainstorm it

show me a time on this board when he's been so unreasonable his character needed to be called into question--firing a pregnant woman does not count.

have you ever stepped into a role at work or elsewhere where you had to make sweeping changes because things weren't working out?

get ahold of yourselves.

sheesh.
What sweeping changes are you talking about? Waiting until people quit and then complaining about it?
just from past posts (I'm not going to search for them), he's made some personnel changes since overseeing at least a few clinics. from the sounds of things, he was left with lots of problems, and a lot of those who quit or were eventually fired were a carryover from the previous director.

I'm willing to bet some folks didn't think they'd be held accountable for their previous transgressions when wease got the job. Maybe they did, I don't know. I'm not there.

I just don't think this stuff all falls on wease.

a dirtbag is a dirtbag, and honestly, in healthcare, you're constantly on your heels as it is, and don't need unwanted lawsuits because a few people can't be an adult for 10-12 hours/day, and do what they agreed to do.

if you don't want to do the job, someone else will.

Nothing to brainstorm. If you want to keep a tremendously horrendous employee just because she’s with child, more power to you. I don’t have the time nor the money to waste just to continue having someone on the payroll ONLY because she’s pregnant. If I had never mentioned that fact, you’d be saying she needed to be fired. The same for any other person that did what she did that’s not pregnant. Pregnancy isn’t a free pass to not do your job and do it correctly. She almost caused every other person there to lose their job yet you want to reward her because she’s going to have a baby? No way.

And that center did get turned around after I fired those two. I brought in good people with good attitudes and they went from a center being being voted on to stay open or shut down to a center that received a year-end bonus the next two years.

My company had its first round of layoffs ever this week, around 5% of the workforce (the actual number of employees let go was way, waaaaay lower than the Google or Microsoft layoffs, only in the triple-digits). Only 1 person in my division was involved, and he was by far the worst employee we had--leadership swears that performance was not taken into consideration, that it all had to do with economics and profitability, but I don't believe it for a second. I once had this guy share his screen with me for something and I realized he only ever opened Outlook when someone sent him a chat message that said, "Have you seen my email?"

The amount of people who think checking emails is optional when they're on the clock is too damn high. Bloody dropkicks.

Never.

When I’m replying to someone and I’m annoyed with them I’ll start a sentence with, “Additionally.”

If I’m really annoyed I’ll use it more than once.

What if their reply shows that they clearly didn’t read your email?

And do you think “As I stated below” is in the same vein?

Also, lol at Argo
