DBAHO Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Well done SnB. All the best with the new position in the future. Also I found out yesterday that I have now finished College / University, after passing my last exam(s), so thank god for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 It's rained pretty much all day today, well actually a steady drizzle, with an occasional shower. That might not seem like a big deal, but we got more rain today than they've seen around here in a few years put TOGETHER. Kind of amusing to see everyone spinning out on the roads. I woke to the trickling sound of running water this morning and I thought one of the toilets had overflown. When I sat up I realized the room was still dark at 8 am. I opened the blinds and there was no blazing sun in my eyes. It was raining, so I stood outside and just watched it for about 15 minutes. I missed rain.

(not my call in the first place) Hopefully all of these things have been documented and it was communicated to them that they were on their last strike. If so, give them a brief recap of all the things they did wrong and all the steps you took along the way to try to help them improve. In these situations the goal is to have them realize that YOU are not firing them, but that they got themselves fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
