Chapter 42 (Part One)
Miss. Li was working on her computer. When she heard the knock on the door, she let the people outside in. But when she saw it was Nicole, her face immediately turned cold.
Miss. Li had been very disappointed with Nicole these two days. When she and Mr. Eric recruited Nicole, Miss. Li had thought highly of Nicole and cherished Nicole's talent. She had been trying her best to train Nicole. However, she didn't expect that Nicole had offended Mr. Lambert and even disregarded the company's interests for personal affairs!
Miss. Li, who always put the interests of the company first and always thought for the boss, would not allow such an employee to do things under her leadership.
Nicole walked forward and said, "Miss. Li, I'm here to apologize to you."
Miss. Li stood up and closed the shutters to block the view from the outside. Then she sat back in the chair and asked, "What do you apologize for? For your absence from the meeting yesterday?"
Nicole lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "I know my performance yesterday caused a lot of losses to the department, and also made the leaders dissatisfied with you. But my brother was in a car accident and hospitalized, seriously injured. There are only me and my brother in my family, and I have to take care of him. If I'm not by his side, no one will take care of him."
Miss. Li sneered slightly, and then pretended to be kind and said, "If the company doesn't allow you to have a leave, which will be heartless and lack of humanity. I have been working in the company for so many years, and I also know how to care about the employees, but why can't you apply for a leave in advance? Why do you have to be absent when the meeting arrangement was ready and all the leaders are waiting for you? I clearly saw you hurriedly went out to call at noon. Didn't you already know that your brother had an accident at that time, did you?"
Nicole said, "At that time... I just couldn't get in touch with my brother, so I called his head teacher when I went out. I knew that something happened to him until the meeting was about to be held... So I..."
"Even if there is an emergency, all the leaders are waiting for you in such an important meeting. It doesn't matter even if you delay it for an hour to visit your brother, right? Your brother is fine now, right? He hasn't been worse because he can't see you in the past two or three hours, right? Besides, you are not a doctor. Can you go to do the surgery for him? If you would be a little considerate for the interests of the company at that time, you just delayed for an hour. But nothing would happen."
Nicole thought the words from Miss. Li were harsh. As an HR, she didn't agree with Miss. Li's way of doing things, which made the employees disappointed.
But Nicole didn't refute because she needed help.
Miss. Li continued, "Well, I talk too much now, it seems that I don't have humanity care and have no humanity spirit. Let me tell you the truth. I'm dissatisfied with you not because you are absent from the meeting to visit your brother in the hospital, but because you didn't inform me in advance and left without permission. Moreover, your attitude is very bad. The company pays us, we need to work for the company, I don't want an employee who just want to get the salary of the company, but his mind is not on the company. Such an employee can't do anything good for the company! "
Nicole still kept silent.
"You said you came to apologize. Can you make up for the loss you brought to the company? Can you restore the leader's trust to our department? If you can, I will forgive you and let bygones be bygones! "
Nicole lowered her head in silence.
"But you can't, right? These things that are shown in people's hearts are just scars. Once they are scratched, they can't be as good as before. There is no way to make up for the mistakes you have made. Even if you want to make up for them, it will take a long time and a lot of efforts. So according to the company's management rules, I'm sorry to fire you!" Miss. Li was decisive and finally said what she most wanted to say.
Nicole quickly raised her head to look at the woman, with astonishment in her eyes. She said nervously, "Miss. Li, you can't fire me. You don't have a full reason."
"What kind of a full reason? Huh..." Miss. Li smiled and said, "I didn't approve your one-day leave of yesterday afternoon and today's leave. According to the company's attendance management regulations, the employees can leave work for half a day without authorization. They will be treated as 1 day absent and can be dismissed if they have been absent for 2 days in a row. And you've been absent from work for two days, Nicole! If you want to ask about the compensation, as HR, you know it best! You come to the company for less than a year. If you are fired, you will be paid a month's salary. In addition, you will be deducted from the notice money you did not notify 30 days in advance. The company will at most compensate you 2 months' salary. As for this cost, I fire a disobedient employee, and the leader will agree with me! "
Nicole was so emotional that she stepped forward and patted on the table of Miss. Li, saying, "You can't fire me!"
Miss. Li was frightened by Nicole.
"If you fire me, what are you going to do with the half way salary reform? Find someone else? No matter how experienced he was, it would take him some time to understand the company as soon as he entered the company. Moreover, with such big data and so long time of thinking accumulation, could he accept it at once? It's almost the end of the year. Can you guarantee that he can finish this job before the end of the year? If it can't be completed, it will be the biggest loss to the department!"This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
