We are sorry this person feels upset. We certainly understand someone venting after they have just lost their job. However, sometimes people cannot perform for what they would have been hired to accomplish and a judgment is made to depart ways. It is always a gut wrenching decision and one that is not made without multiple attempts to rectify the performance issues and then only after many conversations with management personnel. C B Structures has never in the past, nor will we in the future, terminate anyone at a moment’s notice as is claimed. Indeed, we consider a loss of a job a major negative significant life event and absolutely understand the stress and financial turmoil it can cause. However, if a person does not perform and all efforts failed to correct the issues, it would not be fair to those who work so hard and successfully complete their own job charters.
In addition, in order to set the record straight, the claim that we do not care about employees is ridiculous. Also to suggest that we lied so this person could not get unemployment benefits is unfounded. Keep in mind a person does not qualify for unemployment compensation for only two reasons 1) they quit on their own or 2) they committed an act against public policy (i.e. theft etc) in which case they have the right to appeal and the burden of proof is on the company. If this person was denied unemployment benefits and he or she claims we lied then why no appeal. Finally, we do not have four owners as mentioned and we have been profitable for more years that I can remember. Our records are examined each year by Certified Public Accountants and we get a clean bill of health every year
One final comment, just because we have terminated an individual does not mean they are not a capable person. The job they held may have been the wrong seat on the bus sort to speak and the correct seat was not available within the company. However, we encourage this individual to seek opportunities where it is the correct seat on the bus. Our advice is to give it a funeral, learn from it, and move on to the future which can be controllable.
