They fired someone at my orpid today .....
-
One of the senior programmers-analysts ... he's just back from a 2 weeks holiday ... and they told him to get lost on his first day back ...
morale in the orpid is damm low right now .... cos
1. people realized that the company doesn't really give a flying fark about anything but the bottomline ...
2. he's the lead on many currently deployed systems ... with him gone, major arrows are being drawn through management bows ....
... feeling damm shitty also ... his desk was right beside mine ... they had one of the PR person standing beside him while he filled up his box .... farked up scene ... 
-

I have no idea .... we'll find out at the department meeting tomorrow ....Originally posted by the Bear:damn.. and you're still typing this?
what did he do?
but it's not like he's a skivver or something ..... -

-
Being fired.. the Box scene.. thats bad.. damn
-
the fark thing is that he's just came back from his summer holiday .....
PLUS he just came home yesterday and found out that someone had driven a stolen car through the front of his house ....

someone crashed a car into his house and there's a hole in it?
-
could it be caused by the 2 weeks holiday he took?
-
yes ... it was all over the papers here ... a 14 year old and a 19 year old stole a truck each and went for a joyride ...
no one knew it was his place till he told us this morning .... and they told him to pack his things and fark off at 5 ... -
Wah rao...your company better have good reasons to fire him....or else he countered sue......more drama...

If he wasn't terminated for doing something against company policy, I'm guessing his position was outsourced.Originally posted by Fatum:I have no idea .... we'll find out at the department meeting tomorrow ....

Part of it states that :
"
The Ministry of Manpower will look into any appeals. If it can be established that an employee was unfairly dismissed, the Minister will consider reinstating the employee's employment or order a sum of money as compensation, as the Minister deems fit.

and we're not unionized ... -
Even if u did yr work damn fuk up, but as long as, u did yr responsibilities... The company also cant dismiss u 1 except for the rules stated in employment act...
-
oh... anyway, in Singapore, u do not need to be union to be protected under employment act..Originally posted by Fatum:ermmm .... I'm not in Singapore ...
and we're not unionized ...
Then, it is better for yr friend to check up the countries' that u r working employment act...
haha... I think other countries r more welfare >< -
Which country you from? why are they able to fire someone on the spot without notification one?
-
crap company

I work in Canada ...
the thing is, if you work for a unionized company, or in the public sector, life is good, for it is almost impossible to fire you ...
(a classmate of mine works for the provincial government, one of his co-worker was passed over for a big promotion, so .... she decided to stop working ... won't even answer phone calls or respond to emails .... and they couldn't get rid of her ... ! ... those are truly iron rice bowls .... )
but in the private sector I suppose it's a lot more darwainian .. you face outsourcing pressures, you face competition from "cheap foreign talents" (like me) ... and you face a job review every half a year .... -
Wow seems like lately there is alot of lay off.... but ur colleague's case is really tmd sudeden to the max...

Any idea why he had to take the 2 weeks leave? Most likely its forced leave for something he did? -
I dunno ... maybe he saw the writing on the wall ... but more likely it's just his yearly thingy, cos it's high summer now mah .... everyone is coming back from and going on holidays now ...Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Any idea why he had to take the 2 weeks leave?

but if that's the case, then it's really farked up lor ... -
maybe offended 'sth' overseas. it happens sometimes.
return and get fired with a truck through his house. KO-ed... -
how was his reaction when he heard the news he was fired?
if he shows no major reactions, maybe he already expected he's going to get the sack.
