Oh lord help me lol.
Quick Background: HR hires em', then sends them to my account.
What Happened: So today I was in for a treat apparently. My new employee has arrived and I tell her where to go on the phone.
In walks a obvious lesbian, hair with homemade dyes of every color of the rainbow, pants baggier than most street kids and I'm not even kidding, an overwhelming smell of cat piss.
My underling who knows I'm based AF choked on his coffee and made a quick exit to his office and left me stranded to welcome this new employee lmao.
I'm not even kidding you guys, when we sat down to do paperwork, holy crap this was a shit show. EVERY single page had it's rounds, but the more notable ones I can remember were:
-Social Security #: "I don't want to give you it because it's a capitalist's tracking device."
-$1 a month to a well known Charity we do annual donations to: She marks "no". I ask why: "Your company makes millions of dollars a year and they can donate if they care so much, way more helpful than my dollar."
-Paid Holidays: She freaking crossed out Thanksgiving and wrote Indeginous People's Day
Guys lol, wish me luck on this one! I think I'm going to need it and A LOT of patience.
You have my sympathy!!! I'm dealing with the same thing. I don't have the constraints that you do with firing someone but I know from past experience to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.. date / time / content etc. It's exhausting but vital.
I had two other employees that I fired for cause.. their worked sucked, they showed up when they wanted to show up, spent the day reading entertainment blogs, etc. As soon as they were fired, we got slapped with a discrimination suit. Fortunately, I had all my notebooks and all every email sent after a verbal conversation that began ".. to reiterate our recent conversation".
The problem is, in my position as a director, I am held to a "higher standard" .. and can't challenge views or even be open about mine. It's exhausting
It is insane how much time is required to document everything, all that time wasted that should be put towards team growth & client's needs.
Though it makes things easy when you are ready to pull that trigger.
