I work in an industry where there is always a lot of turnover. We have been fortunate enough that most of our turnover is good turnover. This means that the people that are leaving do so because of a positive reason, like 4 years of school being finished and now I'm off to be a nurse/teacher/astronaut etc.
Occasionally there is a blip in the system, and we get a reject on board with us. That is the case with a manager that just recently was hired, and did his training in Langley with us. He spent 8 weeks training, learning how to be great in his new restaurant. He then spent the next 5 weeks not being great, but doing ok. I don't think anyone was unkind to him, and we made his life pretty comfortable here. So comfortable in fact, that even after blowing off 3 shifts on Fathers day weekend, he didn't lose his job.
On Friday, he walked in to the office in the morning, and handed in his keys. Blowing off 3 more shifts for the weekend. The long weekend. Without ordering a large number of items that are critical to our business. So now, it is forbidden to say his name. If you do, you owe a dollar to the fishbowl. Which we will use to relieve our stress of having to pick up the slack, yet again, for a man with questionable values.
