It took my friend a little over 2 and a half years to get a woman fired who simply was not doing her job. He literally had to track her activities for months at a time, writing down when she came in, left, went to lunch, etc. etc. He had to present his entire report to a committee that was overhearing the "trial" he had to request to be scheduled in order to determine if she would be fired or not. My brother manages a major air traffic tower. If he wants to fire someone for incompetence or any other reason, he has to follow a similar procedure....months of monitoring and documenting, then presenting this to a committee for consideration. These are air traffic controllers!!!! Even one day of incompetence on the job is unforgivable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:340692 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
