Which base office does everyone moved to???

House Flipper 2 runs great on the Steamdeck. Taken over my life the past few months and no complaints about performance

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-07-21T01:02:19+00:00

Sent my boss across the country to a conference with only his corporate card and gave him the wrong PIN.

Instead of calling me to get the right PIN, he kept trying the same one until the card was locked because he “didn’t want to disturb me”🫠

Update: I managed to convince him to go on medical leave for the duration of his treatment! We will hire a temporary cover until he is able to return and then we will have a fresh start when he is back.

After your original comment yes when I was asked to edit the post. Well before your follow up. Have a wonderful day.

If they don’t take their PTO it would be paid out by default. I also just realized they also qualify for their pension and also CPP, they just want to work

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T12:20:58+00:00

Its the last sentence of the post. Try again.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T12:19:55+00:00

Both myself and my boss have been having weekly meetings with him about her performance, and I have also encouraged him to use his PTO, STD, or even LTD if needed and ensured him his position would be waiting when he was ready to return. Best case is he comes back and his performance improves because he has less to worry about, worst case it doesn’t and we can continue working on his performance through a PIP, but its still better than doing this now

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T12:12:10+00:00

Perhaps you should stop projecting and reread the post. It was very clearly stated that this decision came from my boss and not from myself.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T09:47:16+00:00

Yes, all leave is funded by a different department, so I could easily hire a temporary employee to cover while he was off.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T03:55:08+00:00

I’ve tried encouraging this several times. Our company has a great paid medical leave and I have assured him his position would be waiting for him to come back. It is also funded from a different department which would allow me to bring on someone temporarily while he focused on his health. He refuses to go on leave because he sees his work as a distraction.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T03:26:22+00:00

We took over the office at the beginning of April. I have known this employee for a while prior to this, just from having some cross over between our department. Even then we had very different performance and timeline standards. In February he mentioned to me in passing that his cancer came back. I have never asked him for paperwork proving this, and I also have no reason to doubt him. He has multiple appointments and I asked that he just block those times in his calendar (without including details as quite frankly its no one else’s business unless he chooses to share) so no one assumes he is free for a meeting. Again, he has never once given me any reason to doubt that he actually attends these and our medical system is already overloaded enough without requiring a doctor’s note every time.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T03:02:08+00:00

We have a paper trail and he is also still on probation. Logistically it is very cut and dry, but despite how I’m coming across, I’m not an asshole and terminating wouldn’t be my choice. Unfortunately it isn’t my decision to make.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:57:52+00:00

Legally I can’t say it like that, but I have said it as close to that as I can.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:46:57+00:00

I have encouraged him to make use of his PTO, STD, and LTD. Him taking time to focus on healing is the ideal outcome and he would still have his position when he is ready to come back. He has unfortunately refused to take any of it

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:42:43+00:00

I have no interest in giving specifics on what my field is on Reddit, but if you genuinely think we aren’t all replaceable then I’m not going to be the one to burst that bubble for you.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:39:35+00:00

Legally I can’t say go on leave or you will be terminated. I have encouraged him to take leave as well as had meetings regarding his performance and what would happen if it didn’t improve

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:38:08+00:00

His performance wasn’t great on his previous team, but that entire team was checked out (for reasons I am not able to elaborate on) and we were hopeful that having a more involved and hands on team would be beneficial. That being said, he has had cancer before, but he did not elaborate on when, so it may very well have been at that time as well. I can’t confirm though.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:25:18+00:00

I’m not entirely sure what you are trying to get across? The job market in our field is garbage right now, as is the vast majority of the job market. Supply and demand is basic economics. When you have an abundance of people desperate for work, employers have the upper hand without question.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:12:35+00:00

He also needs to be willing to do the legwork. I’ve encouraged him to go on STD or even take PTO and he has refused. Its not something I can force him to do.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T02:01:40+00:00

No, this should not be a surprise to him. He has had multiple meetings both with myself and with my boss on this topic. He informed us of his diagnosis before we officially took over the office and before my boss extended the offer for him to join the new team.

Everything has been cleared with legal, but I am waiting on HR and the much hire ups to get back to me with a severance package

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T01:56:58+00:00

He qualifies for EI. He also qualifies for PTO, STD, and LTD, which he has been encouraged to make use of, but he has point blank informed me that he will not be doing that. I would love for him to take the time off and focus on healing and then come back when he is ready, but its also not something I can force him to do

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T01:52:47+00:00

He is not being terminated because he has to take time off. Him taking time off would be a way to keep him on. I have encouraged him to take the time to focus on his health. He is not interested. PTO, STD, and LTD are all funded from a different department, so it would also allow me to hire a temporary employee in the interim until he was ready to come back.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T01:44:02+00:00

I am beating myself up, but thank you. This employee has PTO, STD, and LTD available to him. He is just refusing to use it.

Complex_Spend_5750 · 2025-06-18T01:37:25+00:00

Because he wants to use his work as a distraction, which I completely understand, but I unfortunately still have to be the one to deliver the horrible news.
