Add Comment Question: My first day with Southmedic began on Wed., Oct. 21 I was introduced to Kyle who I now suppose was the sub supervisor to Cal the supervisor. (I think those are their correct names) I started on Better Sheilds by putting labels on the masks. As the line rolled along once in a while I had trouble getting the labels off the label sheet in time to put on the masks. I have never worked on an assembly line with rubber gloves and some of them were put on crooked. I indicated this to Kyle and I think he slowed down the line a bit but never interacted with me and I didn't see him that much during the shift. Since no one was checking on my work I assumed I was doing ok even if some of them were crooked. This went on through Thursday and on Friday I met Cal and assumed he was a supervisor from his black gown and he was telling us to pack up the Better Sheilds line for the weekend. When I came on Monday morning Oct. 26, I asked Cal where to go and he said back to that department. We set up the Better Sheilds line, stood around for a while and then Cal told me to go to the Grinding Room to prepare scalpel blades. At 10:45 Cal told me that the DNA line was down and regular workers needed to do something so since I was new I was sent home. Randstad, my employment agency, told me that I would be called back for a different position when it became available since I couldn't keep up on the Better Sheilds line, but up to that point, no one had supervised or guided me and I had no idea that anything was wrong. I think it is unfair that I have missed work since 10:45am, Oct. 26 because of being new to a job and not being familiar with the equipment. I liked working at Southnedic, but any mistakes in my work are not entirely my fault and I would get better with more experience. I believe that the 2 supervisors Kyle and Cal screwed up by not efficiently training or guiding me in work I have never done before and they got hell for some mistakes in my work and I had to pay the price by getting fired. Can this be resolved with the idea of returning to Southmedic or what would you suggest? Thank you Answer: Technically, Randstad is your employer and Southmedic is simply a company that utilizes your services. While it may seem unfair, Southmedic is allowed to request a different individual for any reason that is not discriminatory. Further, only a termination from Randstad would trigger the obligation to provide you with termination pay and/or severance.
