We have a bit of a nightmare client that forced a long time employee to quit last month. The employee, "E" was ready to move on, but this client definitely expedited things. About a week and a half ago, we hired E's replacement "C." She was a very sweet girl, but obviously a little green. Word around the office is that she was struggling with the work. She really hadn't had the chance to work with the client yet.
This morning, about a half hour before the official start of day, she came in, dropped her key off and walked out. Another employee was in and saw her do it. I feel so bad for the account executive "A" who is now alone on the account again because this new girl couldn't hack it. And it upsets me that C didn't have the decency to quit to her supervisor's face. Apparently, some people think that just because you're new to a job, you can leave without telling anyone.
Good news is that C's exit will expedite the "firing" of the client. So hopefully soon A and who ever replaces C won't need to deal with them any more.
Happy hump day indeed.
