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
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?
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.
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.
