et you're posting details about your employee and her discipline on a public message board, which is just as unprofessional, perhaps moreso because you're a manager.

Where does he work? Who is the employee?

Please, nothing wrong with this at all.

It's also not his responsibility to employ someone while they search for said job.

You're ridiculous. Anonymity doesn't preclude unethical behavior. You're just as bad as the next one except no one knows who you are. Have some ethics as a manager and handle this within your company.

You never talk about work situation, without naming names, outside of work?

Unrealistic Standard in my opinion.

That being said, you need to make sure you are smarter than the judge.

Snitches get stitches.

I'm just seeing this. I confronted my employee a couple months ago. She said yes she did go for an interview. I told her I understand but I need to know whether she is going to leave immenantly. It was for a position out of state.

It didn't hurt out relationship and she is still here.

I also had another employee try to tell me last week he wasn't gonna be able to work to meet a deadline. I set that straight pretty directly. No more problems.

So since when is it against company policy to look for employment elsewhere? She lied to you, at best that's insubordination but I would refer to your HR Dept. & policy manual before you do anything. It can come back to bite you in the arse.

You sound like you'd be a blast to work for...

Have you ever had to discipline any employee for lying to you? When confronted, I asked my employee three times about her seeking employment outside the company. All three times she denied it. She even tried denying it after I presented her with the letter she wrote to the company she is seeking employment from.

sounds like you're looking at a lawsuit. besides, it doesn't appear like she will be there that much longer and your write-up looks like a joke.

Whether or not you or I agree with it, our company has a policy in place that states no employee can use company equipment or property for their personal use. All of our communication systems such as voice mail, e-mail, computers or internet access should be utilized to conduct business only. She was made aware of this policy, as are all of our employees, at the time she receive her new employee orientation packet.

Nonetheless, I went down a different road after reading the comments here and am hopeful that she is fully recommitted to the upcoming tasks at hand.
