Working from home brings a lot of convenience, but it also makes some bosses worry about “efficiency”. Suzie Cheikho, who has worked as a consultant at the Insurance Group of Australia (IAG) for 18 years, was accused of repeatedly missing deadlines and meetings, being absent and unable to contact, and not completing work that resulted in the company being fined by regulators and fired by the company . Although Xie Ke denied the accusation and criticized the company for finding reasons to fire her, she was slapped in the face by her boss with “data records”.
According to the “Daily Mail” report, IAG’s network team monitored and recorded Xie Ke’s “laptop activities” at the request of her boss. It was found that she had not commuted to and from work according to the prescribed time for 44 days, including 7 nights. 29 days early off work and zero working hours for 4 consecutive days, and the “hourly typing” in these three months was only 54 times, and there were 117 hours in October, 143 hours in November, and 60 hours in December Not 1 email.
Although Xie Ke strongly doubted the data, doubted that it was a system problem, and denied the investigation results, he even said that “I sometimes work a little slowly, but I never stop working”, and explained in writing that “I can’t recall why the working hours and typing times are so small.” , “I experienced many personal problems that led to a decline in mental health, affecting work and performance.” One month after she was fired, she complained that she was unfairly fired, “The company planned to fire me because of my psychological problems.”
However, the appeal was dismissed because Xie Ke did not present any substantive evidence to support her claim. Thomas Roberts, vice-chairman of the Work Fairness Association who participated in the trial, even said bluntly that although the result was regrettable to the parties concerned, Xie Ke was “seriously and genuinely” out of touch with work, so he found that the dismissal was justified.
