I Hate my Job SumTimes

[time]

Let me run this thru EF..

This morning I get a call from HR telling me I need to come down and sign off on one of my employees termenation.
When I ask them Y I need to sign off on it, being that I am not in favor of it they tell me My Boss said that this was my intent and my action.
Now I hold a fairly high postion in the Fed Gov. so going up against my boss is kind of a bad idea. But if this employee decides to fight this action then I will be the one that faces him in court. He has been on paid leave for about 10 weeks. And during this time I have told him I would do what I could to help him. This letter makes me out to be the one that in fact is doing the fireing. " NOT THE CASE"
All this is over a cup of coffee, a man will lose a 35thou dollar a year job.

He told another one of my employees that if he did'nt pay for the coffee he could not have any. This turned into a little back n fourth just words, and the employee that this letter refers to decided he would invite the other outside to settle it. Well mr coffee drinker got a little upset and called Cap Police and they arrested him on a veb threat.
So n the end he got 4 mth probation and one night in jail.
And now after all this BS I got to let him go , or I can stand up for him and tank my job?? I'm a GS 13 so I do about 105grand a year.
And the real fucked up thing is I was in Boston when all this took place. So I was not even there the day these two fuck could'nt act like grown up people.


PS my spelling bites, My job is numbers so please 4give.

eeeek.

Well, we all have to sell our character down the river at some point to get by in life.

I have to feel that the whole coffee situation could have been dealt with another way.

a night in jail and 4 months probation? He had to do something worse than verbal.

Mr coffee drinker pressed charges. Shit I did even now you could press charges fro sumthing like that. But this the US Capitol and they can over react sum times.

When I wore younger skin I would have advised that you stand your ground with your convictions. Well, after having been sufficiently fucked by life for "trying to do the right thing" while the scurge of the earth danced the happy dance (both personally and professionally) I can say without hesitation, if you allow YOUR JOB to tank for the inability of another to control his mouth (regardless of how lame and sophmoric the situation really was) you sir, are foolish.

Do what you have to do and realize that if the situation were reversed NO ONE would take the fall for you.

Self-preservation before ethics... fuck ethics.

I agree - though there ARE times to stand your ground - and whistleblowers get shit on all the time - I dont think this is a time to stand your ground.

We all ignore our convictions one way or another over our jobs - but you have to sometimes. less time with family, less vacations, knowing someone else is not doing right and not saying anything....etc.

ONly he knows where to draw the line, and there is a point where he should draw one, but you have to let some things go.

This guy effed up - not him - its not his responsiblity.

Oh his ass is gone. I have warned him in the past about this kind of thing. Look I got $2000grand a mth child support , $1700 rent, and about 16years in the Gov. I will not take the fall. I told my boss to eat shit, and this was fucked up. He told me welcome to managment.

BTW My boss has coverd and been good to me over the years. So as far a airing out the fact this is BS w/ him is cool. He has no issue w/ me being pissed off at him as long as I do my job. And I do... EVERY FUCKING DAY..
