Termination

I called my friend "Ms A" this morning as i found out that she
had been terminated by her employer. She has been working
for this company "B" for just 4 months.

No verbal warning.
No warning letter given.
Not even a performance review is done.
The employer just terminated her for NO valid reason.
Poor "A"... She is a person whom I know is very determine,
career minded, and will do everything all out...

Last week, she was called by the boss in his room.
Thinking that the boss might want to review her performance
but instead, she was given the termination of service letter..
Stunned and shocked, she argued with the boss but he was
not able to produce a solid reason. "A" then wrote an email to
the VP who's based in the neighbouring country. According to
Mr VP, in order to terminate an employee, a person
need to have at least one warning letter but in her case she
did not have any.

For all she knew, the boss actually has a plan to hire
someone who he thinks is better in terms of experience and skills.
Immediately on the next day after the incident, the new
staff was hired. What a plan!!

She has now a solid case.
She's going to fight for her pride and dignity...
I wish I could help her but I can just give my moral support..
Wish her all the best and hope she could find a much better
place to land..

I feel very grateful that during this tough time, I still have a job
and $$$ to earn... Alhamdulillah....

Dear Lara,

Looks like your friend "A" has a case. Try going to the IR office to seek for help. During bad times such as now, unscrupulous employers are ever so ready to take advantage of the situation.
