What can I say about an employee that I fired?

No... when someone calls in reference to their employment you can't "slander" them. But if they ask, would you rehire them you can say NO! Or if they ask if they were on time... if they weren't you can say no to that also.

First, I would not say that you were fired. You weren't, exactly. You resigned and as long as you kept a copy of that termination letter you gave them, you shouldn't doubt that part of it. It feels icky when you think you've been fired.\nThen, due to the fact that you did have a legitimate reason to be away from work (health, der) they should cut you a little slack. However, it can't hurt to say that you are willing to start from the bottom and work your way up. Subbing, etc. As long as you can have that chance, and get your foot in, you can build trust and show that you are a worthy hire.\nWhy wouldn't you hire you? You shouldn't think that either! Did you want this to happen to you? Wouldn't you want a break?\nThat's all you need now. A chance, a break.\nGood luck!

This is a difficult situation for you. I think it is of the utmost importance for you to realize if you are mature and professional enough to work in a position where you are in constant contact with people. You have shown a great deal of immaturity here by referring to a caller as a "*****." Therefore, tomorrow ask for a meeting with your supervisor. Outline a plan to improve your customer service skills. This plan could include training provided through the company, and smiling while talking on the phone (this tactic actually makes you nicer to people and sounds friendlier). Admit your mistake and agree to whatever sanctions are imposed upon you. If you are fired, you are fired. Chalk this up as a learning lesson and move on. If you are given a second chance, attempt to do your very best. And remember, going from job to job (a.k.a. "job shopping"), not only looks bad on a resume but can prevent you from getting future jobs. If you feel you are annoyed by the callers, then it is time to find employment that is not related to the services industry. Perhaps, you could become a typist and have no contact with people?

I just fired someone three weeks ago for thier miserable attitude.  \n\nList only facts, not your opinion or heresay from others.  Explain how this behavior effects your work, your departments team environment and reflects to outside customers on the company. \n\nPutting it in writing is good because you have the ability to erase... be careful not to sound like a complainer or whiner, but someone who is concerned about the work environment and how it could be better. \n\nThen, know that someone will have a talk with her and she may then get a worse attitude toward you because of this.

If you were written up and given a final warning, that means you have had other disciplinary action. If not, then it is your first warning and you can not be fired. You also need to look at your own behavior.\nYou start off by saying you were improperly disciplined by an administrator then complain about the other person involved not getting in trouble and you admit to "yelling". It doesn't matter what is happening to the other person, this is about you, your job and your behavior. "Yelling" at another person in any setting is wrong, you are a professional, in a professional setting  and expected to behave in a professional manner. You have the right to respond to the reprimand and that response will be placed in your file as well. You also need to advise the union rep of your situation and how you feel. You say this person is abusive to you, if so, you need to move to another department or floor. You need to be proactive about your situation, take care of yourself and if it means getting away from a person that is abusing you, do it.\nAs nurses, a lot is expected of us and pressure can be difficult. \nIf you can't figure out a way to get along with the person, move on or you could damage your reputation. Pointing the finger and hoping someone else will agree with you doesn't work. If this person is mean, that fact will show itself sooner or later and you can't let it effect you!

don't tell unless they ask you, or pretend like you just found out a few months after your hired.  you can't get fired for that anyway, it's against the law, and they should be Equal Opportunity Employer.

Absolutely! its written in the law. Even if you are still working there, at anytime, you can ask to see your employee file from Human Resources, and ask for corrections from any mistakes. They cannot fire you because you wanted to see your file. If they do, contact a lawyer. Good Luck.

Say something like "I am looking to expand my knowledge and skillset."\n9 out of 10 employers won't call the past boss anyways.  And if they do, they aren't SUPPOSED to ask the details of why you left.

Yes, they have the right to ask any questions related specifically to your job history and reasons for leaving past jobs.  They may ask a previous employer why they fired someone.\n\nSee the article below for a list of the things employers cannot ask:

The lawyer was correct there is nothing in the Privacy Act to do anything about it.  There may be other courses of action to take if the person getting fired feels they are being fired because of discrimination.  Another course of action can be to go to the bosses boss.  In most companies management is required to sign confidentiality agreements. (i.e. They are not to disclose anything that happens at work with people who are not employed by the company.) These are used mostly to prevent company secrets from leaking to competitors. If the person who leaked the information to the non employed person has signed one or if there is a company confidentiality policy and letter to the right person might get the leaker fired.

Of course they can!\n\nNow..legally the former employer  should only be able to say your dates of employment and if you are eligible for rehire. \n\nThat doesn't mean that Joe from burger barn doesn't know Susan over at the hot dog king and they don't go for drinks and a little gossip passes over a cocktail. \n\nPeople talk..legally the company should keep things private..that doesn't control gossip.

I just took an employment law class so I have a pretty good idea that he would not win in the court of law.  As long as he was not fired unjustly, he has no basis to retaliate.  however, you will have to be able to prove that it was him (witnesses) and that the action was indeed in retaliation of the termination.  good luck, what a crappy situation :(  it's going ot cost you both more than what it is worth - if you fired him according to the law, you have nothing to worry about

ok, this one I can answer truthfully. Why, because it happened to me. Someone said something so bad that another persons job was on the line. I spoke up in defense of the employee who was about to be fired. I told them all I knew with the exception that my name not be revieled. As a result, the employee was not fired, but everyone was mad at me because I  came forward. Somehow, all found out it was me. In the end, everyone made my life a living hell and I wound up quitting my job. I am actually doing alot better now and am stress free. Luckily I didnt need my job that much or else I would still be there suffering. Bottom line is , if you really need your job, look the other way. No one will give you a raise or promotion for being a narc, even though it should be the right thing to do.

By all means yes you do. And i also think if a person gets fired u also have the right to know why. My friend got fired today, and the only thing she got was. We are letting you go. It's best for the company.

Even for "at will" employers, they cannot terminate an employee for an illegal reason. So if you have evidence that your termination was illegal, then I would seek the advice of an employment lawyer.
