[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]00:23 - agree with point #1. Disagree that it is ever acceptable to fire someone via message.  "Jany, we need to talk, please call me as soon as you are able."

Also, it is terrible to not pay someone 2 week's severance if you are letting them go w/o any notice.  Only situation where that is OK is if it is still clearly a "trial period" and both sides are aware that it is such.

- an MB boggled at how OP's MB handled this.[/quote]

It was a PT position that she had for only a few months, not a FT job that she had for a year or more. No severance is needed if it was not a good fit and not working out. Also, maybe there WOULD have been more notice but the OP forced MB's hand with asking about the ad online. Which caused her MB to let her know about her decision when she might not have had a chance to figure out an end date at that point and definitely didn't have a chance to GIVE her employee notice. If I was going to take a day to figure out that sort of stuff and my employee left a message for me like OP did, I probably would think twice about having her come back to work for another week or 2 and just end it then. The MB also ended up giving the OP a week's pay for severance, which was more than fair for how long she had been working for.[/quote]
