It's been fun, thank you all for being so fun to chat with.
You seem to think that Company is at fault....
No, only that my impression was the notice was unusually short.
Not defending the boss or the employer in any means Charles, but since we are only hearing one side of the story which happens to be from the employee, and with her admitting herself that she post on the site while "On the Clock" is enough alone for a employer to take action, most professional companies have Computer Usage Policies in place, I willing to assume that posting to an Adult XXXXX board is not classified under proper usage working for a doctors office, as long as you are on the clock it's your duty as an employee to be devoted to your paid task or job, and since we don't have information on past history that might have lead to the quick decision, its hard to be pointing the finger at anyone person, either the employer or employee.
I agree with this paragraph. However, I was operating under 2 assumptions (and we all know what this means): (1) that if she were being terminated for "posting to an Adult XXXXX board" as you state, they would terminate her for cause so they wouldn't have to pay unemployment, and (2) she intimated that her responsibilities didn't require a lot of work which is why she had ample time to post here.
Most employers don't get enjoyment letting employees loose from the job, good help is not only hard to get but also expensive to train and fit in to the environment of the job. Just because he or she, the employer, has dismissed an employee with little or short notice does not mean there was not a defined reason why. It also depends if she was salary, temporary or part time employee on the notice of termination that is expected, noticed I did not say required, to the employee. Texas mandates according to the TWC and Texas is sort of unquie in many ways if the proper documents are filed and noted in company - employee policies manual that enacted within the company. Note of course Lawyers can pick this to death, but the TWC rulings are usually followed and if the company complies, its pretty simple.
For the most part, I agree with this paragraph.
Again not blaming Miss N or the former boss, but with only one side of the story is very hard to determine the reason of the action taken, or who is right or wrong.
This observation is correct. It's just that I work in a job where we almost never try to give an employee one day's notice. It only invites anger and lawsuits. If the employee is a danger to the business, we still pay them 2 weeks severance, even though the employee's last day may be the next day.
No disrespect to Nicolette in any matter, I am sure she will find what she seeks, good luck. Originally Posted by Woody of TX

As some here already know, I work in the medical industry. Actually, I work for a doctor. He pays me all day to basically just sit around and type on the computer. So, up until now most of my posting has been "on the clock" so to speak. But, he just gave me the "heads up" that he will no longer need my services as of this coming Monday April 12th. So, I will be looking for a new "day job" and won't be around here nearly as much as I have.Just wanted to let everyone know, that although I'm not as active a poster, I will still check in from time to time.
