Specific tech from out nation wide company was considered to have a bad
attitude and was let go. Major problem was he tended to vent his vocal
feelings while on the job, i. e. in customer's residences. Gent was about 10
days behind sending cores and duds out and had a slight problem "K.P" his
company van.
Another tech was asked to relocate the parts (stock, work in progress,
cores, and duds) from one location to another. He had been given four
months notice but contended he did not have time due to work schedule.
Things began to hit the fan and another tech, myself, was desiginated to
'help' him pack up the materials and relocate him and his stuff. Began one
Friday AM at 07:30 and ended the same day at 22:30. Delivered four van
loads of cores and duds to the local UPS Depot to ship out. Packed the rest
into two vans and made three trips to the new location. 'Two techs lost
production and being paid additional overtime to take care of (IMHO) what
one tech should have been doing'.
Recently we had an inventory of materials, again I was selected to go
through the materials and parts left after loss of the first tech. Then the
items specifically deligated to my location. Finally the third tech was to
have his inventory done, the van was pulled into the service location and
the tech took over two hours removing materials from his van. Manager
rescheduled his inventory for a later date requesting that the Regional
Manager be with us when the count and packaging is actually done. To date I
have not been informed what the schedule is for the two managers to be in
house.
Direct manager spoke frankly to me asking if the first tech would be
willing to come back so we can dispatch the second gent. Seems that many of
the materials, duds, cores, and return authorized items, had been pending
for more than six months: sitting on shelves and costing corporate funds.
My responce was to contact the first tech, who has already voiced his
opinion about coming back (Very attimately Negative) and eat crow if they
actually want him to return.
I hate corporate politics, and personel who make decisions without getting
the whole picture. Sure the first tech was a bit mouthy and ocassionally
unkemp but he was, and still is a good tech. The second tech is a marginal
tech who belabours the customers with extranious vocals while attempting ot
service the products. Go Figgure, Eh!! LOL

Depends on how he cracked it... The answer is in the details which you
didn't provide. I'm sure that there is a *lot* more to the story than
getting canned for a one-time accident or mistake.
