:

Insubordination - disobedient to your company policies & the *boss* people
(you naughty boy)

But *gross* insubordination .....that doesnt sound
like insubordination any way, what you said,.. more like expressing an opinion

I've had a similar one Madmax, although I can't claim to be the culprit. I was teaching at Bay of Plenty at a tertiary provider, although I can't tell you which one. And the head of school in the staff room came out with a statement "there are no new ideas in the world". One distinguished lady teacher said "you're an idiot", after a brief pregnent pause her offsider said "... well that isn't an original idea".

gross insubordination =144 times worse than regular insubordination

Damn, I just got told not to be cheeky and got a clip around the ear. (The boss was my dad)

He had great fun in hiring new staff because he wasnt afraid of telling them what he wanted done at work and if they didnt do their job he would give them a clip around the head. When they laughed and said yea right, dad used to call me in and clip me just for fun :doh: Not many people argued with him then, they didnt think he was serious either :2thumbsup

Very fun but when he did interveiws (15+ a day) it really started to hurt, thats why I recon I have great reflexes (Better than Neo's) :yes:

But yea, moral is, dont work with your dad, he'll hit you if he feels like it :lol: :lol: Didnt bother me though, being South African I reckon it doesnt harm kids to have a play by giving them a friendly clip on the ear. WSho needs written warnings :doh: :wavey:

Only one many years ago. had this smart arse boss just out of the services. Air Force I think, anyway we had had a few tussles. Any way one day I opened my locker had found that someone had been rumaging throught it and my personal diary went missing from the work truck etc. So shortly after this we had words which resulted in him giving me a warning. I opened the letter and suddenly realised that I was not going to work for this arsehole. I tore up the letter and then tipped up his desk so that he was pinned underneath. Shit all his stuff went everywhere. Should have stomped on his face but I made my point. Never seen him since, thank god. Not like me to loose it but I lost it that day.

sniper_cbr just a little word of caution but im sure uve heard it before :)

its all good to laugh about until you get taken to court for unfair dissmissal.

my father is an employer and let me tell you, employees can take you to court and screw you real bad for the smallest slip up. Me and old boy have seen it happen to small businesses first hand (not his).

It realy shits me sometimes to see people fuck around, quit and then find a loop hole in the law to say something like they were pressured into leaving when all they did was fuck around and leave.

:Playnice:

If you do it properly there will not be any comeback,unfortunately most people have no idea of the correct procedure for dismissing someone and thats where the problems happen

You should have a disciplinary procedure set out in any employment contract,this should also give examples of what is considered serious misconduct and minor misconduct

Any meetings held with the employee/employer should be documented and both parties should also have a witness present and in the case of a smaller business it would be sensible to get legal advice

tis the one thing that really gets on my goat. You have an employee who is a lazy son of a gun. Repeatedly drives in the car park way faster than he should, always late, drives the forks like a demon suddenly gets a back ache ...and what do we have to do. BLOODY HELL !!!!!

Oh my you poor young fella...life dont quite work that way! What the hell happened to working for a living? If you dont like it ----->>>>> life is that way. Maybe you shouldnt have had the 3 kids you cant afford to 3 diff women.

3 written warnings, verbal warnings?? cant remember, ive been in the same job for 10 years now (since I left school). The guy that prompted the written warnings is now lower down the ladder of command than me and it would be rude if I didnt make life difficult for him once in a while. What goes around comes around!!

I knew I had peaked in life when my boss at the freezing-works (food processing plant in todays p.c.world) said "You can't be the biggest f....ng clown in the bloody circus ALL the time" - what did he know!!
Then he went to the union delegate and told him "I don't know what to do with that Scumdog, he's nothing but a problem child" oh yeah! woohoo!
Such praise! THEN he nearly flipped when I said "can I have it in writing, I need it for my testimonial" :laugh:

3 written warnings, verbal warnings??

1 verbal, two written. Not exceeding 12 months for the same
*offense*. After 12 months the verbal and written warnings disolve....
and it all starts again -

Unless of course they are immediate dismissal issues

:killingme

I think this is really funny...

This is the only written warning I have ever had... I got it about 4 months ago.
Apparently I'm a "ring leader of clowns" :killingme

As anyone else had an amusing written warning?

The one that I never got, along with a lack of verbal warnings. Ended up with 8 and a half grand from a PG over the sacking :ride:

i got a written warning once. walked out of the boss's office, and dropped it in the shredder as i walked past it. he wasn't that happy. all over fucking timesheets being late in.

If you deserved the pay out - then ok.

If you didn't deserve it and you are just an opportunist former employee,then
good for you.....NOT - I hope you invested your winnings well - :Pokey:

The existing employee's at your former place of work have got you to thank now, for their lack of any pay rise over the next 12 months while your organisation recoups an 8 grand loss.

Hey! somebody worse than me at that!! Never had a notice about it yet - but then I don't look in my pigeon-hole as much as I should either. :shit:

I had a boss express her displease about "my attitude" at a job I had a couple o years ago. My contract had run out, and I was asking for a $2/hr pay raise on my new one. She didn't like it and threatened to replace me with a temp worker (which would have cost more per hour than I was asking for, and they wouldn't have known jack shit) so I told ger "Go for it". She never did follow through with that threat.

Actually, I made TWO comments - one for each circumstance.

But the average person would not have. Originally I had not intended to do anything about it and walk away from the job. I had so many people say otherwise and even had a lawyer come around when I was applying at the dole cue. Made for a good deposit on my first house. Oh and the company did never recover from that and went bung :shit:

12th December 2004, 19:39

Well Honda, i'm not the average person.

I have done it.....and I have also had it done to me (as an employer). So call me a know it all but I felt qualified to comment....thats all

as you probably know nothing in this instance
