I guess it all just seems odd to me because of the company I work for. The turnover rate there is extremely high, people rarely pass four months. But, they do tell each and every associate what they need to do to do a good job for the company, and why doing it that was is conducive to good business. They've also been completely receptive of the fact that I've been in the running since February for a job with the local PD. I guess it's not competition, but plenty of people have left the company to go to other businesses. Lots of people have left other businesses to come to my company. There's never any hard feelings and it's not odd to rehire someone who does this. I guess I just work for a weird company, but I've known that since I started there.
All that said, I still think it's pretty sad to fire someone just becaue they're trying to broaden their opportunities. We can get back to the original point now. Sorry to have hijacked the thread.
