On a happier note, I get to fire an employee on Christmas Eve day because she has gone over her sick and vaca time. Four write ups this year. Oh, and she tells everyone about her awesome Kwanzaa vacation coming up!

I envy you; I have black employees, but with one exception they are happy to have a job and do it well.
Whoa. If she is celebrating Kwanza, then it is impossible to fire her for any reason without a costly lawsuit.
I told them no problem: If they want to pull that race card bit. All you have to do is axked them: "Where you Black when I hired you?"

Heard this on Beck this morning, looks true:

“The word “Kwanzaa” comes from “matunda ya kwanza,” which is a Swahili term for “first fruits.” The extra “a” in “kwanzaa” came about during an early Kwanzaa celebration in which seven children each wanted to represent a letter in the word, and an extra “a” was added to “kwanza” to make sure all the children were included.”

Tell her you’ll be celebrating the true “mantunda ya kwanza” and won’t need an extra ‘a’....she’s fired.
Yikes! Hope you’ve got your ducks in a row! Been there and done that.

At my wife’s Company, which is in the f.arms-accessories business, all 10 employees (non-white—Mexicans mostly) in her group voted for Obama despite their being in a business that Obama/Dems would like to put out of business.
Dumber than rocks, but hey! Who needs a job when one gets an Obama goody bag when unemployed, etc.?
20 years back I was a Supervisor to a major airline. The only way to get rid of someone was to tracking their attendance.
Productivity and attendance goes hand in hand. They were always getting “injured” or sick in conjunction with days off. I would track all this and document, coach and counsel as was required. These people usually are too stupid to realize they were digging their own grave. When I eventually fired them they had no recourse.
It was their personal record and my documentation, coaching & counseling with their union steward present that they were let go and it stuck.
