Worthless Employee Rant...sort of

[Ah Pook]

I thought it was a really good rant. Everyone recognizes the frustration that social loafing brings to a workplace environment. I would have kicked her out the moment she left early- and I would have given her a warning the moment she waked in late. That's ridiculous! Hope your boss tightens up the policy a little, so you don't have to deal with that again.

I'd give it a 9. It was coherent and used proper spelling/punctuation. Which is more than I can say for a growing number of posts, lately.


Did this lady come from farther up canyon?

Consider it money well spent! You learned about her real "work" ethic with only 2 days pay. She could have played it up for a couple months and then started this crap. Then, it would have been real tough to get rid of her.

Well, yes and no, CO is an "At-Will" state, so getting rid of her's easy. Filling her position, that's tougher. (Of course, this ignores if she were to try to get some sort of discrimination lawsuit in the works, then yeah it'd be costly).

If it was me, I would copy and paste this rant in to the body of an email to send directly to her as an explanation of why she doesn't deserve a penny. But still pay her anyway for closure's sake.

In the future, include a training and paperwork fee, equal to the first two day's pay, which will be waived if the employee completes their training and works to the end of their first pay period satisfactorily. I believe that is legal as long as it's in writing and the employee acknowledges it before starting work.

She didn't get injured during her two days of training, and file a Worker's Comp case, so I would consider yourself ahead of the game.

Post the opening up here. There are plenty of people here who either could use the work or know people who could use the work. Besides, if they are members and they exhibit that type of employee behavior, we can all ridicule them after they quit.

I second this.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that perhaps this young mother was an "everybody's a winner" kind of child while growing up. You know, time outs and all that happy horse shit.

except not young... we were all shocked when we found out she had young kids.

Oh, and I thought the soft rant was worthy.
