I am feeling so WTF right now. Just before the end of our work day, our boss gathered all us up for a huddle (they're like quick and informal mini-meetings) and she told us that they'd fired one of our recently hired staff members.

I'm really shocked by this (all of us are) because he was a super super hard worker, he was fun to talk to, and honestly it was just nice (in my mind) that they had finally hired someone who actually worked at a speed that was faster than fucking molasses.

She won't say why she fired him, just some bullshit, "Working here is about being the right fit with the company, not just doing your job really well." answer, and it makes me feel like he questioned too many of the things we did and why we did them.

The problem is, he was only saying what the rest of us pretty much say or think every day. We work in a hospital (in the in-patient pharmacy), and there are so many little things we do that are basically 'hand-holding' for the nurses, and it's all stuff that any of our staff that has come from another hospital (like him) say that NO ONE ELSE does in other hospitals.

I already didn't like this new boss because she doesn't like us doing things on our own without express permission from her (even if it's just something tiny like moving something a few feet to make work flow better), but when SHE changes something, it's often vague and without properly communicating it to the rest of the staff, which often leaves us all going, "Wait I thought we were supposed to do it this way? When did we start doing it that way?" often.

*sigh* I just hate that he got fired when we have co-workers who work slow/are lazy/always slack off and try and get out of doing "difficult" tasks, and he was always picking up the slack and doing whatever he could to help out despite having only been here for a few months.

I just find it hard to believe that it's solely about his supposed attitude when we have another co-worker who's been here for almost a decade (and who's been brought to HR multiple times by other co-workers) because her mood changes like the wind and you often have to walk on eggshells around her in order to avoid doing or saying anything that sets her off.

tl;dr Sorry, I have a lot of feelings about this and no one really to say it to. :

I'm kind of baffled by the idea that you can be doing your job well and be liked by all your colleagues and somehow still be missing some other criteria for "being the right fit for the company." I mean, what the hell else could possibly constitute being the right fit other than those?

I'm sorry that happened!

I suspect that in this instance, "the right fit" means the right fit for the boss and the boss's cronies and yes-people, who probably couldn't care less if the person is a good fit for their actual colleagues.

That was pretty much the impression we got too, sadly. That he was pretty much 'fired for mutiny', in our eyes. Which is so disheartening because it's so stupid to fire someone for pointing out the flaws in your "machine" rather than address the legitimate issues that they're bringing up.

I mean, what the hell else could possibly constitute being the right fit other than those?

I know, right? It's why we're all so baffled and shocked by this, because to us it was so out of left field that they'd fired him. I mean, the last guy that got fired it was for a legit reason (he stole narcotics).

Whereas this guy was at work on time, was pleasant, helped out, worked hard. He was never out sick (or like some of my co-workers, out "sick"), or anything like that, so we're all stunned by him being fired.

I'm almost hoping that he chose to quit/it's something else that they can't tell us, rather than think that they chose to fire one of the best new hires we've had just because he didn't fully agree with the way we did things. :/
