We work with a lot of people who's origin is of the rainbow nation. So there's this one lady, who's only thought in life, is if she's going to get a taxi to home tonight. I hate her, because she's the slowest worker I've ever come across. But I treated her fair, and always thought she will fire herself one day. This is the background.

So she kept on to make mistakes with items (meat) that she pack, and then price marked it wrong. For example she priced chicken drumsticks, as chicken bones. this happen many times, and I always just warned her verbally. The other day I contacted the guy at cofesa regarding this problem. he told me that whatever mistake a employee makes, that costs a company money, I can fire her immediately, especially in this case where it is a repeated problem. So it happened again, and the good boss I'm trying to be, I gave her a final written warning.

So the next day she came back, gave me a resignation letter. Her reason for leaving is: "
I'm not happy, because I didn't sign the verbal warning"
I asked her if she knows what a verbal warning is, and she just looked at me like a sheep...

So ya, i was right. Her own stupidness cost her her job in the end....:D:D:D
 
Lol shame. Why don't you just give her a job labeling the chicken bones then?

LOL, no, then she didn't make mistakes, and didn't resign...

She went to her union rep this week. He contacted me, telling me it is unfair labour practice (the final warning I gave her), and he wanted to see me. I refused, told him she resigned in her own will, and had to consult him first. But instead she resigned, and afterwards didn't get another job. Now she want to go to her union. So stuff her and her union, but I think she will go to the ccma. But she doesn't have much to stand on.

Bitch

LMFAO
 
So who was the brilliant individual that hired her in the first place??
That individual is even dumber than she is.
 
You liable to pey her a certain amount per year that she worked for you, its not as much as she thinks she will get. For the price that you pay, it more often than not seems a worthwile expense getting rid of the problem.
 
Speak under correction but think she only gets paid out if she was fired and not if she resigned.
 
yes, she resigned, so I have no obligation to pay her anything for her own stupidness.
 
I hope you are not serious, verbal means something spoken, so how would you sign a spoken warning?

A verbal warning is the same thing as the whole he said she said scenario.
In the business world, you have to sign that you received a verbal warning, then written warning then final warning. You sign all 3.
Pretty sure that's standard HR process?
