The firing of the employee went down earlier today.
They decided to turn it into a resignation to save face.
Had to step in to prevent it turning into an argument with their manager, but handled it well.
The employee thanked me for my professionalism when I walked them to their car, and they hugged me goodbye.
So glad I held a debriefing with their team afterward. It honestly helps me as much as it helps them.
Still feeling a bit from it. So my self care starts now with a curried cauliflower pie from Country Cob
Good work! Sounds like all handled it as best they could.
All things considered for sure. Would have preferred a million other different ways to wrap up the week, but ending a tough situation with a hug ain't too bad
I mean, I told my boss to shove it up his arse. So trust me when I say it could be worse.
Kind of miffed that you didn't incorporate a song into it, but you got it done.
Is Another One Bites the dust too cold or on point?
Speaking of Country Cob, their vanilla slices are amazing! I've tried a few of their pies and wasn't very impressed though, especially for the price.
Can't speak for their meat ones, but the vegetarian ones are great.
I think it's more that it's a treat to have a place offer more than a bland token vegetable pastie
That's true. Curried cauliflower sounds pretty good.
