terminated due to dishonetsy?

While I think this was unfair for you friend, I can understand the boss's point of view. Not find the route of the problem because your friend didn't want to say her mistake, costs the company time and money. However, what kind of work environment was she in, some work places would have fired her for making the mistake. I would need to know more about her situation at the work place.

It would depend on the client and the information withheld. If the client was an important client of the company which could make or break the companies financial stability, it would be a very serious matter However, unless we know what exactly happened it would be difficult to say whether the companies action was meritted or not. Do you happen to know what the information withheld was?

If she was given a fair chance to tell her side of the story and refused to do so, then it is fair. She did herself a disservice by keeping quiet about the whole matter.

I suppose if she had done several similar errors before they/the company feels that the employee is dishonest. I suppose it depends on the severity and or nature of what was done wrong is questionable.

You said she did not tell the real cause so it is justifiable that she is not a dishonest employee. But if what happened led to some negligence issue failing an agreement between the client and your company, that could be a more valid reason. There's more to that story than we could all tell.

i think it is fair i will tell you why in bussines world every moment mean money , such error can cause lose a littel money in the begining and when hidding the error i will become more expensive not just in money side but also to the company name as you notice in your discussion she make them make invistigation for one week which consume alot of offer and time from the boss which make him/her more engry from your friend. if she was honest and tell the truth in the error time maybe she will not get terminated but this is lesson she will learn from it and also why should also take at as a lessson for us .

i experienced this as well recently towards the end of last year... i got terminated as well due to dishonesty and i can't blame anybody except myself... i learned a hard lesson from there and i think it is just fair that an employer doesn't want a dishonest employee because it might cause a bad reputation or a loss to the company... take care and have a nice day...

If she lost the company money then they found a reason to fire her. Was she given a verbal warning first, because that's supposed to be protocol. Verbal, written and then you get fired. If she was in her 90 day probational period they don't have to give her a reason. I'm sorry that your friend got fired, I've been fired from three jobs but its not the end of the world. Help her back up, dust of her resume and help her find a new job.

Hi asliah~ It is difficult to say without knowing the whole story as to what exactly happened and what your friend did and how serious it was. If it was a very serious issue that cost the company money than that along with not telling the truth would possibly grounds for dismissal. Most bosses don't tolerate being lied to. Honesty is one of the most important parts of any job. Maybe if your friend had told the truth and apologized she wouldn't have been fired.

Dishonesty will always makes anyone's image bad. Even in friendship,once you lost trust from a friend,it is hard to get it back. They might forgive,but the trust won't be the same again. Honesty is always the best policy,esp with work. How can you be trusted with bigger transactions when you can't even be honest with simple tasks. I hope your friend learned her lesson. HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi there. Honesty is one of the most prerequisite qualifications in order for a person to climb up at the corporate ladder. Without it, you'll be going nowhere. As for my opinion, I think the admin has the right to do it. When other offense maybe given chances at least thrice, being dishonest is a no-no. It will reflect in your personality anfd no matter what you do, it sems that everybody is watching your back. It is difficult to establish trust once again once it has been broken.

Trustworthy employees is really important part of the job because if not then that could be the reason that the company will fail.

Morally wrong but then we don't live in laws of morality but rather the laws of the people. HOwever, if that happened in my country, such is considered as illegal termination. Why, firs of all there should be a warning before making any dismissal. The person should be given the opportunity to defend herself and explain what happened. If this happens again despite the warning then, the person still deserves a second warning. However, i do not know what is the labor law in your country, but then for me it was morally wrong to fire her.

Keeping anything from the employer is considered to be dishonest, no matter if it was just a small thing. However, to be terminated without any warning is totally unfair, she should have been reprimanded instead of being terminated.

It is. Dishonesty is I think among the personality employers do not want. That is why if they find out their employees to be lying, they fire. Dishonesty may ruin the company's name and business. It is a form of cheating. And who would want to be cheated?

If I am unable to do an work I simply tell the truth to my boss and I think its the proper way. Your friend is not dishonest but he don't have the courage to say the truth. On these grounds which you are saying the decision of firing was made is very crud. There must be some reason behind which must be consider before firing and which you also did not shared.

i think the company should consider many factors why your friend kept it secret, as i read your statement for its unfair i could not even see any hard violation about it.,unless if that secret was really a big deal of the company wherein they should terminate her...,we can not do anything about it because she is only working not a boss.
