Good for him. Sooner he gets going, sooner he can find new opportunities. Same goes to you for looking at applications.

Nothing fucks up a weekend quite like telling someone "On Monday I need to have a one-on-one with you first thing."

I feel like I'm always on the receiving end of situations like this.

Speaking as a manager.... unless it was an emergency or trying to fill a shift gap, I'm not a particularly big fan of a boss reaching out to an employee during their time off, and that's doubly the case for someone that works a normal job with weekends off.

I'd rather be fired in the morning.

Only a scumbag boss waits until you've already completed a full day of work to fire you.

TC even acts like a cold, distant boss with his monosyllabic responses with no elaboration. I mean, you could try being a human being in these types of situations?

The TC is the manager in the above text conversation and he's hinting to his employee that his ass is canned. The employee figures it out for himself.

Management wants to fire him and asked the worker to come in early prolly so he doesn't clock in on work time.

Did you really message someone at 19:30 for a meeting on Monday at 8:30 or this is just a random pic you found?

If it was you, dude I'd have a case that you were harassing me with HR in that case and good look trying to fire me for performance related tasks when you're messaging me out of hours, on the fucking weekend to come to meetings.

Unless he's WFH with those hours then it's fine

I never make my employees work on the weekend. Nor do I ever expect them to check their email during the weekend. But that does occasionally mean I give them a quick text to let them know if we need an earlier meeting on Monday. Since I normally I give them to let their start and end times and I wanted to make sure I caught him early.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I completely agree and if the decision were 100% up to me he would have been fired this Friday. Unfortunately, this was not 100% up to me. I just have to be the executioner here.

Its not right to antagonize an employee on a weekend like this then make a topic mocking them.

Ah, middle management of a bunch of drones.
Good luck. And remember, tell security to tighten up if the guy is called Milton.

Like, TC isn't CEO (I assume). He's gotta follow orders too.

My boss when he needs me to come in that night(I work overnights) because the flaky 23 year old chick with the mentality of a 16 year old decided to call off, again.

Honestly I'm not surprised. Believe me I don't like that I have to fire him and I don't like the logistics behind it. If I was given complete control of the situation he would have been let go in a face to face meeting on a Friday. Not first thing Monday morning. Unfortunately that timeline wasn't up to me.
