My first firing
I had to fire an employee yesterday because she was caught sleeping several times when it was slow. Now we are crazy busy and I caught her sleeping again, right before closing time but still, someone could have come in to tan. She was also giving away free tans to her friends (which I didn't discover until after I fired her) and calling off at the last minute, putting me in a bind. Now, is it just me or should she have not been fired after the first time I caught her asleep? I gave her plenty of chances. Sure enough, an hour after I fired her, her mom came storming in demanding to know what happened. When I told her she just didn't think those were reasons to fire someone, her little girl is a good girl, how could I do this, blah blah blah. I just wasn't in the mood to hear it. Has anyone had someone's PARENTS come in after they fired someone? I would have been mortified if my parents had done that when I was younger. Ridiculous.
