She was on probation for 3 months now and was just not progressing to the level I wanted. I could not trust her to take on more serious queries and if I were to keep her, she would learn, but it would take her ages and until then she would continue to lean on the team

>>8827683
Why got answered above, and my regret is that it was rather abrupt - we had a client complain about her and it was sort of like a final straw because the question was fairly basic and she not only had no idea what to do, she couldn't even follow the complaints procedure when he requested it and then cut him off.

It's a call centre position in a London FX/CFD/Spread-betting company. This girl had a degree in dancing and was an assistant teacher which is fine, we don't require financial degrees to deal with clients. But she had zero office experience despite going to uni, no ability to focus, slow typing etc. After these 3 months only her typing speed has improved. For everything else she could not be trusted. Especially when it came to placing trades for clients.

I had to fire a virtually assistant from a 3rd world country who clearly needed the money. He was weeks behind on tasks, would do the bare minimum each week so I didn’t fire him on the spot, then make up lousy excuses why the rest wasn’t completed.

I was legimately convinced this guy was scamming, keking with his buddies about cash grabbing from an American business. When the time came I had to let him go, tho, it was brutal. Just dead silence on the other end, a sullen “uh huh.” Dude clearly didn’t see it coming.

As much as I was looking forward to firing him, he was a rough moment. I feel for ya OP.

It was the latter. Here's the thing: we offer a big variety of products and you need to know a lot about them as well as be able to do not too difficult calculations. She was completely lost on all of that. The only progress she made after 3 months is some very basic knowledge on some of the products and her typing speed increased (she could barely type when she started). She started at the same time as one more rep and he was picking up things at the intended speed and coudl grasp simple enough concepts on what is an overnight financing or a commission on a trade. This girl would just mix everything up, b absolutely lost when it came to calculations and whenever client asked her something, she would put them on hold for a few minutes.

Hell, I should've made the decision sooner, but I felt sorry for her and due to health issues I missed her first probation month, so I thought that I need to give her more time.

Am I the only one here that loves firing people? I enjoy documenting all of their fuckups and their shitty attitude problems and the dumb, inappropriate shit they say to our customers.

When the times comes, there is nothing I relish more than destroying some parasitic shitcrow or bumbling retard with hard evidence and recordings that provide undeniable proof of their uselessness and stupidity.

I dont even have to fabricate anything ever. Most idiots hang themselves even after being told they are under review. Fuck I hate them so much, wasting my fucking time and money by being a lazy piece of shit for my company.

Ive even had one dipshit use me as a reference after he got fired, and the hiring dept actually fucking called me, so I told her about his various documented workplace problems. LOL.

You may think Im a cunt, but Im one of the only ones who actually weeds the pieces of shit out of your office so YOU dont have to deal with their bullshit ever again. Say thank you.

I love it when they start crying or begging. My favorite thing to say is "if you had put as much effort into your job performance as you are putting into this performance, you wouldnt be getting fired right now". Thats shuts em up.

One prick idiot tried to sue me personally, and since I had documented him threatening me previously and got him to sign it, I was able to sue him back for legal costs and $5,000 damages. So not only did he get fired, he wound up losing a civil case and PAYING ME for the priviledge of getting fired by me.

You'll get over it kiddo.

In my /biz/ you have to have a cold heart because people come to you with sob stories and shit and you just gotta tell them to fuck off after a while.

Sooner or later you'll get burnt because you went against your gut and kept some dumb slut on board, or some other scenario like that. Then you won't be making pepe threads on /biz/ because you won't give a fuck.
