Office Discrimination

So my colleague came back to work from her 4-mth maternity leave on Monday. as we moved office while she was on leave, she came back to a new office, new surrounding and lotsa new faces in the office too.

oh, she also came back to a new boss and new team as her ex-boss quit just slightly before she left for maternity leave - her team used to be just her ex-boss and her. it has now expanded into an 8-men team in her abscence. (Point to note - the new boss has brought in enough business with him to command such an army of staff for himself in such a short period of time.)

so i would not be surprised at her culture shock on her 1st day, and the slightly longer time she took to settle down.

i have not mentioned that she has been asked to resign one week prior returning to work. so her short stint back in the office is merely to serve her one-month notice.

i would not speculate on why she has been asked to leave, the truth is plain for all to see.

but issit necessary to send her a warning letter at 9.30pm on the 1st day of her short stint back at work?

yes, she received a warning letter on her 1st day back at work, after oredi being asked to leave.

the warning letter states that she has spent most of the day doing personal things, such as submitting claims and catching up with colleagues. and amidst that, failing to submit her handover report that day.

1st of all, after being away for 4 months, is it wrong to get the claims out of the way? even more so since it is now the beginning of a new financial year for us.. last year's claims should be cleared asap, as advised by finance.

2ndly, if colleagues want to catch up after missing u for 4 mths, is that realli so bad?? wat more she is new to the new office space.. can't she have some time to wow over it before getting to work? is harmony in the office not of utmost importance for a conducive working environment? wat is the motive behind issuing a warning letter against that?

last of all, who the hell submits a handover report on the very day she has been asked to leave when she is required to serve a one-month notice?

absoultely RIDICULOUS. tell me there is no discrimination involved here. yea i wun buy it even if u say that to my face. THIS IS UNFAIR! i am so glad my colleague is being asked to leave, cuz i dun think she wud want to work for such an unreasonable boss.

seriously, this new boss is a freaking piece of shit and i am so glad he is not my boss!
