Study Notes
- Grounds for termination can be categorized into attendance and punctuality, character and professionalism, teamwork and cooperation, appearance and attitude, productivity and work performance, organizational skills and time management, communication and respect, and other reasons.
Attendance & Punctuality
- Frequent lateness, especially missing important morning briefings, despite multiple warnings, can lead to termination due to poor attendance (tardiness).
- Excessive absences, such as calling in sick multiple times a month without a valid reason, particularly on Mondays and Fridays, constitutes poor attendance.
Character & Professionalism
- Dishonesty, such as lying about completing a project that was never started, can erode trust and result in job loss.
- Unreliability, like frequently forgetting to complete assigned tasks, makes it difficult for colleagues to rely on an employee, leading to termination.
- Substance abuse, such as coming to work intoxicated and behaving inappropriately with clients, warrants immediate termination.
Teamwork & Cooperation
- Bossing others around (lack of teamwork), like constantly giving orders to coworkers despite not being a supervisor, can disrupt team dynamics and cause termination.
- Not carrying one's weight (lack of teamwork), such as refusing to do a fair share of work, leads to termination.
Appearance & Attitude
- Dress code violations, such as wearing casual clothes instead of the required uniform in a restaurant setting despite multiple warnings, result in termination.
- Rudeness and abusive language, such as frequently arguing with coworkers and using offensive language in the office despite warnings, can lead to job loss.
Productivity & Work Performance
- Failing to do tasks properly (poor productivity), like repeatedly submitting reports with errors that cost the company money, can result in termination.
- Laziness (lack of productivity), such as spending most of a shift on social media instead of completing work, demonstrates a lack of effort and is grounds for termination.
- Carelessness, particularly when handling delicate equipment, can lead to damage and subsequent termination.
Organizational Skills & Time Management
- Losing tools and materials (poor organizational skills) can disrupt team workflow and lead to job loss.
- Poor time management, such as regularly missing deadlines, results in termination after multiple failures to complete projects on time.
Communication & Respect
- Failure to communicate, such as ignoring emails from a boss and failing to update a team about important project changes, can cause project delays and termination.
- Harassment and discrimination, like making fun of a coworker’s accent, are serious offenses that can lead to immediate termination.
Other Reasons
- Constant dissatisfaction, such as constantly complaining about salary and work hours despite agreeing to them upon hiring, can create workplace negativity and result in termination.
- Theft, for example, stealing office supplies and selling them online, is grounds for immediate termination and potential legal action.
- Incompetence, such as struggling to perform basic math calculations as an accountant, indicates a lack of ability to perform tasks and can lead to termination.
