I've been working at a factory for two weeks. Friday I wasted some resources by printing out more labels than needed. And I put some good poster boards on the dirty floor because I thought they were bad.. can I get fired for wasting resources? I'm scared! I won't repeat it
Hi Heni!
You must be aware that you are under the Juridical "Adaptation Period".It happens with your kind of job. Pay attention.
"At the end of
six months, an adaptation review will be performed and the supervisor and employee will discuss the employee's performance, suitability for, and adjustment to the position. Any changes to the requirements of the position may also be discussed."
"Employment during and after the adaptation period
is at will."
@Bold: You must investigate what is this period in your country.
Considering you've broken "rules", yes, your supervisor can call you out, and even dismiss you. It's a common sense in a lot of countries that no factory, industry, shop is obligated to keep its employers.
But keep in mind that it all depends on your supervisor. He has all the power to analyse the situation and most important: listen.
If he doesn't call immediatly, just after some time, make sure you have a nice reputation, explaining that you learned a lot , and now you are able to fully understand how the place works.
And even if you were already a formal employer, in my view, you couldn't be fired by "Just Cause for Dismissal".
" In order for an employer to allege just cause in terminating you for incompetence, the employer will have to
show that you were warned that you were failing to meet objective standards of performance and that, despite these warnings and the opportunity to improve, you continued to underperform."
Investigate what are the clauses in your country that make it possible.
If you see that your chief dismissed you no under this circumstances, you can make them pay a fine, or whatever your nation says you have a right to when such thing happens.
But all in all, I don't think the worse will happen. It usually takes much more to fire someone by just cause.
As for you thinking that you are not as good as the others, remember " So if any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching, and it will be given him. But let him keep asking in faith,not doubting at all,for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about. " - (James 1: 5-6)
I hope it helps!
