questions regarding firing from an employer..

[pednurse74]

:stone here are a couple of questins and a situation regarding some things:

1. my bf's ex saw him and told him that i got her fired for calling her don and telling the don that she was calling my house while she was employed there. i did call to tell her the don that i was tired of her calling from her work and asking for my bf anmd that ohter people were also calling there at my house for her and gave the don their names, i told her that if it didnt stop i was calling the police, whihch i didnt. i didnt call police on her at all...i let it go because the calls stopped.......3 weeks later, she tells my bf i am getting subpoened in court....come to find out, i know a girl that works there and that girl told me, that she didnt get fired of that because of me, she got fired for sleeping on her job and whistelblowers told on her...lol...anyways, do you think i am going to get into trouble over this anyhow? they have not contacted me yet. and i guess he told my bf, that she cant get unemployment because of me too and that is my fauklt? ha ha i didnt tell the ***** to sleep on h er job!

2. ok, another nurse that i know got fired, not the same place as where the ex's gf worked, but another place. she was fried or let go because the don told her her head was not iny in her work, so she goes to apply for unemployment, will she be able to recieve this? and, she is worried since she is in debt that they will garnish her unemployment wages, does sanyone know if this is true or not? thanks, i can learn somet hings from f that is possible? thanks for your time, and excuse my spelling....

Huh??? I read that post 4 times...and I still don't understand any of it. Can you please clarify??

I don't really know, but in regard to your first question I wouldn't think so as long as you were telling the truth.

In regard to the unemployment issue, if you contact the unemployment office in your state they can probably answer those questions.

What do you need clarified? This is the only way I can explain what happened to me.

I had to read it several times because it was unclear to me as well. It's written as if speaking, not in clear sentences, and uses lots of abbreviations (bf? I'm guessing boyfriend...?) I'm not flaming you... this is a casual site, but it is hard to read - you asked.

Anyway - I think I get it now, and it sounds like one of those very nasty domestic situations to me... My personal opinion is that those things should be kept separate from work. Calling your boyfriend's ex-girlfriend's boss to complain that she is calling you at home is not the way I would have handled it, because that can get very complicated if she decides to say you were harassing her (instead of the other way around, if you can believe that!) Now she can accuse you of threatening her "right to work". It just becomes a cat fight.

Although not as instantly satisfying, I think the most correct thing to do would be to contact the police about the harassing phone calls, and let them take it from there. If they trace them to the hospital, then great... the hospital might get mad and fire the offenders. If they are tracked to other places as well, then that's good too, the police can take care of that. That keeps you out of it with the girl's employer.

My advice would be to get caller ID and not accept any of her calls. Also, dont you think a DON of a healthcare facility has more important things to do than get involved with some petty childish "phone tag" between two girls, or women acting like girls, over there boyfriend? The whole "I'm telling on you" thing is sort of junior high type of stuff. Time to grow up. As for the other one getting fired and being in debt and worried about getting unemployment garnished, how about if she puts all the energy she is wasting in worrying into looking for a job. Sounds like maybe someone wants a free ride???? Whatever....
