The accusation itself had him worried, but he was sure that a negative breathalyzer test would be sufficient to prove his sobriety. They did the test but still terminated his position. The new supervisor was at the bottom of it, embroidering reasons to fire staff because he was so terrible at his job!
A Normal Day
The guy was having a regular day at work, grafting away at his office job, when his world suddenly flipped upside down. We’re talking MAJOR flip, too, not just a small blip that can be written off with a good night’s sleep!
Unexpected Call
He was at work, dealing with some reports, when out of the blue, his boss phoned him on his internal line. His boss revealed that there was an Uber waiting for him outside. He thought it very odd, as his car was parked in the lot!
Intoxication Report
He questioned his boss, stating that he must have him mixed up with someone else. But to his shock, he learned that a brand new supervisor, who hadn’t even been there two weeks, had reported that he was heavily intoxicated on the job.
Denying the Accusation
He laughed, assuming it was some sort of joke! When he realized that it wasn’t, he reassured his boss that he was perfectly sober, and even he agreed that it seemed unlikely he was drunk at work.
Unusual Behavior
He and his boss had actually been interacting that morning and had had a brief face-to-face exchange about a project he was working on. His boss would have seen that he was 100% sober! He hadn’t reported any unusual behavior, which he would have done!
Compliance and Testing
Rather than arguing, he decided to cooperate. Finding the whole debacle somewhat amusing, he willingly jumped into the Uber to take him a few blocks away to occupational health for an alcohol test to prove his sobriety.
A Sensitive Role
It is worth noting that as a large company that worked closely with the police, they were subject to random checks here and there. Much of their workload required highly sensitive data-driven analysis, so they had been vetted and all sorts for the role. But this was bizarre beyond belief!
Passed Breathalizer
When he headed into occupation health, even the staff member doing the test found it all quite ludicrous. To his relief, he blew a perfect 0.00 on the breathalyzer test, indicating absolutely no alcohol in his system.
Expected Apology
He called his boss back to share the results and was informed that he needed to jump in the Uber to take him back to the workplace. He wanted to discuss the situation in person. That seemed fair enough, an apology, no doubt!
Suspicious Activity
When he arrived back at work, there was a tense atmosphere. His direct boss and the big boss were in the office. They wouldn’t let him go back to his workstation, and he had to be escorted! What was going on?
Unsettling News
They sat him down, and his boss informed him that he was going to be suspended. To say he was shocked would be the understatement of the year! He threw a load of questions at this boss, but all he could say was that he promised to provide further details soon.
Shocking Outcome
He went home, horrified at what had happened. He didn’t know who to turn to and seek advice. Then, four days later, he received the crushing news that he had been fired.
A Harsh Report
In the report, it was stated that someone had reported his supposed inebriation. While they found nothing in his system, they claimed to take such accusations seriously, leading to his termination. It was ‘company policy. ‘
Desperate Attempt
Immediately, he couldn’t help but think that this entire situation was a result of the new supervisor’s desperate attempts to impress. It had his name written all over it!
Reckless Mistakes
Within his few weeks at the company, his new supervisor had made various errors, which had already landed him in the big boss’s office several times. There were rumors that he was inexperienced and only got the role due to a relative in a high position.
Another Incident
A few weeks back, he had had another valuable member of the team fired, claiming it was part of a ‘clear up.‘ However, everyone knew that he simply hadn’t liked this particular coworker and had him fired over ‘using his phone to make a personal call‘, an accusation that the coworker vehemently denied.
Pushing the Team
Not only was this new supervisor making a bunch of mistakes with his work due to his inexperience, but he was also pushing the team to the limits, increasing the stress on everyone. He was handing his work to them as he was incapable of doing it!
Job Security
To add to the chaos, the supervisor had confided in a coworker that his job was hanging by a thread, causing his desperation to become evident. Rumors had spread, and everyone soon knew that he was in trouble.
Cover Up
Perhaps firing people would be deemed a positive move in the sense that he was making positive changes. It was a way of owning his role and trying to cover up the endless mistakes he had been making.
Bias Motives
To make things worse, none of the bosses were prepared to listen to the truth as the supervisor’s relative had a very high position. The company was pretty corrupt in that sense, and no one wanted to risk losing their job! So they just put up with it!
Wrongful Termination
He strongly believes that he was wrongfully terminated, and he possesses all the necessary paperwork to support his case. His plan is to appeal against the decision and try to get his job back, a position that he trained incessantly for.
Falsely Accused
Occupational Health could vouch for his sobriety, as he neither drinks nor smokes. Their claims were false and unfounded. So he has decided to contact his ex-coworker, who was wrongfully terminated, and attempt to build a case.
Motive Revealed
In his opinion, it was all a ploy by the new supervisor to make himself look better at his expense. Most importantly, he plans to bring this guy DOWN and demonstrate that a vastly inexperienced supervisor was given a role that he was incapable of, thus abusing power in different ways.
