Fight club - temp girls - Part 2

There was me saying I was aiming for 1 post a day and I go and miss 2 days!! thats life I guess.

Anyway so onto the temp girls.
So things flared up mid week, I nearly fired Amy because she used Joanne's email to send a message to people, the message was worded as an apology from Joanne, but it backfired in Amy's face, especially when I got wind of it.

To cut a long story short, mainly because I'm tired and want to go to sleep, Joanne handed her notice in, I probably spent more time talking to her about what she planned to do than I had during the whole time she worked for me, turns out she's a really smart girl, much more than people give her credit for.
For those of you thinking I'm a bad boss for not knowing much about her, yes I should spend more time getting to know the people who work for me but her direct supervisor is off sick which is why all this ended up on my plate, we all learn from things and I've decided to make some changes to how things function, some perhaps some good came of it after all

Fight club - temp girls

First off I got some major tooth ache last night, sleep was something I didn't get so I wasn't in the best of moods and I got into work later than I would have liked this morning, I work flexible hours so that's not a problem, but it was nearly 10am by the time I got in.

This is about two temp girls I have working for me, for the purpose of this article I'll refer to them as Joanne & Amy.
So Joanne's been working for me for about a year, she's a quiet girl who keeps to her self mostly but has made friends with most of the other people she works with, in December she had to go into hospital for an operation, nothing too serious but she would be off for about a month, she asked if one of her friends who was looking for xmas work could do the job while she was off, I didn't see a problem with this so said ok, her friend Amy came in about a week before Joanne was off and they worked happily together and got lot done, Amy is less reserved and made friends quickly, she also got more done in the day than Joanne did, Amy asked if she could stay on after Joanne came back to work, she was such a good worker and I needed a temp for maternity cover so gladly agreed.

Well today Joanne came back to work, my god! you would have thought these girls were each others worst nightmares, they were cursing and blinding at one another, Joanne was accusing Amy of stealing her friends and Amy was getting pissed off when people were being nice to Joanne, Amy then said she was going to quit, I had to split them up to get some order back, lets hope a new day brings with it some sense.
