manager dislikes his new employee, firing an employee who went viral for attacking football fans, and more
- A manager is having trouble with a problematic employee and doesn't want to lose her, but the manager wants to fire her. The new employee claims she wasn't trained properly and the manager feels she's incompetent, yet she has a lot of experience. The manager thinks the employee is late and doesn't want to do data entry. However, they both don't like each other and are finding reasons to justify their position. The manager needs to get more involved in the situation and coach the problematic manager who isn't handling the situation professionally.
- Employers can fire an employee for behavior they engage in outside of work, as long as it doesn't violate specific legal protections. Although some states have limits as to what employers can do in response to an arrest, firing an employee due to an outside incident or indiscretion doesn't require the employee to be arrested. The Baltimore Ravens fired a fan that was recorded attacking the opposing fan the next day because they didn't want to be associated with someone engaging in vile behavior.
- A supervisor received a document from a previous company that's a direct competitor. Even though the employee was helpful, sharing an internal and unpublished document from the past company with her current team was a breach of confidentiality. The current company's boss wasn't too concerned about this violation. The supervisor was wary that the employee still had access to files from the previous company and wondering if it warranted more than one conversation.
- A worker at a company has been called by a nickname that she dislikes for over five years, even by people who have never met her before. She now wants people to call her by her actual name. She should be straightforward with colleagues and insist that people use her real name instead.
- A pregnant worker is looking for a new job while being recruited through an agency. She is apprehensive about the process because she doesn't want to disclose her pregnancy. She is wondering if there are any legal repercussions affiliated with the agency being involved that she is unaware of.
