Hmm - sounds to me like your boss is a coward SilverWarder Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 02:48:30 AM
I got my instructions. I asked if we could transfer him or put him on unpaid leave for punishment. Not an option.


Your boss made the decision and made you give him the bad news when you wanted something less severe?

Inappropriate in my book. The person who does the firing should be the decision maker. Period. Anything else is sloughing off an unpleasant duty onto someone else. That makes it too easy to do. It's cowardly and dishonorable in my book.

Someone who did that to me would probably find my resignation on his desk shortly thereafter.
May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.

So you're against maternity pay? TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 12:29:07 AM 448 Views
Where I work you have to use your sick leave and annual leave to cover maternity leave. Tashmere - 20/10/2009 01:26:34 AM 398 Views
Same with my job... Antigone - 20/10/2009 01:56:00 AM 379 Views
And nobody gets special treatment. *NM* Tashmere - 22/10/2009 01:16:13 AM 169 Views
Thats just one of the variations of maternity leave I was suggesting. TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 01:50:11 PM 395 Views
But that's what I was addressing when I talked about his choice. Sareitha Sedai - 20/10/2009 01:54:30 PM 393 Views
That's why it's an employer and not a social worker... Antigone - 20/10/2009 09:58:00 PM 451 Views

Because the person is not there, mainly. Antigone - 21/10/2009 12:54:39 AM 419 Views
You pick up the slack because you're a super-wonderful person TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 10:56:04 PM 416 Views
No, I never said anything of the sort Tom - 20/10/2009 03:14:07 PM 415 Views
I was simply saying TheCrownless - 20/10/2009 11:00:09 PM 362 Views
