My son started his first FT job with a local manufacturer as a saw operator cutting metal materials. He is not the fastest worker, but seemed to get to like the job, and according to him, received little feedback from his supervisor about his job performance. Well, today, just after three weeks, he was let go. No information on why, just told it was not working out. If he did not give notice of two weeks to his previous employer, he would have been assigned to a different department (this was told to me by the HR manager), and may have been able to stay on. Instead, he got a semi-skilled job and was given just three weeks to succeed, without knowing where he stood?
Yeah, this simply sucks. High unemployment, so they can toss you out and hope they can find a better replacement who may..just may.. be a bit faster. Also, by cutting him loose before 30 days, employer avoids unemployment. And employers wonder why employee loyality is not as strong as it use to be. Every employee deserves to be told where they stand regarding job performance, but when inadequate supervisors are placed in position they are neither trained, or have the people skills necessary, this is why we end up having third party representatives in the workplace.
