At the beginning of COVID around March we had an employee who was at higher risk than typical and his doctor strongly advised him to self quarantine. One of our managers told him if he cares about his job he’ll be here in the morning. There were a few other issues with this manager so this wasn’t necessarily the entire reason but that termination came pretty quick.
Yes, I misread, meant it to be that the lawsuit was coming from the employee( not the manager).
He wasn’t a manager, but he wasn’t showing up for work fairly regularly, or was super late some days. We’re super flexible with work, but when he got behind we looked into it. Found out he had two FT jobs to support multiple addictions. When his wife showed up at work to yell at him about his infidelities (and starting taking things off this desk), we figured it was best he prioritize his health and not while he worked for us. Company was cool and gave him 3 months of insurance coverage to over counseling + outpatient care. He also stole 4 laptops.
I can see how they could get away with that. But 8 months - well played by them! Haha
Having relations with an associate on his project 😬
Over the years and not my current firm, I have only seen one fired on the spot, and that was for theft of cash. I have seen quite a few walk out after being pushed to the breaking point.
How much time you got?? 😂
