[Spike]

huai chiu ruined someone's life?!?! howl can?!?!

@wongminmin @Spike @RandomPancake

Should have punished her in bed. That would have been the ultimate punishment.

 

[Ahemahem]

If the intern is not making any effort
is it not right to terminate him on the grounds that the other interns are putting in more effort?
and not fair for him to get the same result despite the difference in effort

 

[endo5x5]

The bar is generally set very low for interns liao

Honestly I didn't know it was possible to fire interns until I saw this thread

So long story short, this intern took 4 days of MC in 1 month of work, keeps coming late and is very lazy at work...

I keep encouraging the intern to at least do the bare minimum so I can give the intern a pass grade at least. But the intern don't listen...

My other interns start complaining why this intern wasn't terminated. They said like this might as well they take MC and come late. I told them their grades will be higher than that intern but they don't care...

Fearing a revolt at my workplace, moi decided to terminate the intern. The intern's teacher beg moi for a 2nd chance because she cannot get an in house programe for the intern as there is only 1 more week before the end of internship and the intern must retain 1 more year at ITE...

Did I ruin that person's life?

Yes. You should have fired the person earlier. You let your feelings get in the way.

 

[crimsontactics]

Nonono Bro Spike!!!

[Sen Sen]

Hopefully this lesson will make the intern change & improve..

 

[crimsontactics]

No. If your action serves no remorse and change in the boy, it's not your problem.
then your Axe on him shows the other interns that chances are available but never take things for granted. They shld not have challenge you abt following the steps of the errant boy.

I will not fire the intern if the other interns never complain Bro begintoend!

Moi always believe in helping one another...

No , there are BY FAR , worse problems in work even if you are hardworking

this is nothing , and hopefully the intern finds something interesting to work on in the future

 

[begintoend]

But this is how you manage a team.
It's work, not school.
Generally if for school you dun pass a student when her attendance record is atrocious too. Makes no diff actually.

 

[Evil_Boss]

But moi still feel guilty Bro Evil_Boss!

better lose your capability to have that feeling if not cant go far in life.

Need ITE's approval to do so, but because the intern was fired before he/she comes to my coy for 2nd chance, the ITE never object...
