Situation 1: Hey, sorry to bring all these problems to you when I know you have your hands full with the pending staff reduction, but we had another issue with John Doe (Production Supervisor) on the production floor this week. You know he's hot under the collar most of the time. He gets production out of his staff, but he certainly has issues as a supervisor. I don't think he's learned even one thing from all the management training the HRD group has provided. He had a run-in with Carl Jones (production employee) yesterday. I guess he and Carl really got into it-a real shouting match. In front of the whole shop. Guy fired Carl, marched him right over to his locker, dragged out all his personal stuff and hauled it out the front door. Granted, Carl's kind of a bad apple and having him gone might be for the best, but I had a call this morning from some junior lawyer at Ness, Terry and Smith saying he was representing Carl in his employment lawsuit. I thought you'd want a heads up.

Situation 2: As you must be aware, Sonia Putt in CAD design went on approved family medical leave on the first of last month. Somebody in your department messed up the paperwork and put it through as a termination instead of FMLA leave. She should have continued to get her regular salary because Queen policy allows her to use sick leave and vacation pay under FMLA. Because it was a termination, though, her salary was cut off. She has direct deposit and didn't even know it was cut off until her checks started bouncing. Now she has overdraft fees, she says her credit's ruined, and her mortgage company is threatening foreclosure. She is hopping mad, and I don't blame her. She wants the mix-up fixed right now. She wants all the fees reimbursed, and you need to do something about her credit score and her mortgage company. She says she'll get an attorney if need be. It's crazy. Why would anybody think she was terminated?
