I have terminated a bad bun bun (Carig, Susan Tangalin) on 12 Nov 2005(call police, detroy my cooker, bad attitute, bad performance, always talk the mobile phone, like to bargain with me), She must leave HK on 25 Nov 2005.
In last week, she still sent me SMS to said "Although I give her bad released letter, but she has so many interview" - She is very "spell"
In yestersday, a agency call me to ask something about her, then I tell the truth to agency. Finally, the agency has not introduce any job to her. Afterward, I received three SMS sent from Susan to beg me to forgive her and help her by give her a good reference as she has a few days to find the new job only, she also state she need to back to HK to work to support her family. Then I replied her, I don't want other employer suffer something from employ her like me and she should borne everything as she has acts so many to force me to terminated her. (I don't believe bun bun already, as they like to talk lie and pretend, & I found if I help her, that is equal to talk lie to Hong Kong People)
But My Mother said if she cannot find the new job, so she is very poor and my mother said I try to help her, may be she know that she was wrong in the past and she will make improvement.
So many bun bun who want to work in HK are waiting the job, why I need to help the bad bun bun???
I think you did the right thing. Your mother is a kind person but this cannot be fit to the bun. They will do the same thing to the next employer so that she can 1 month notice fee. Don't blame yourself.
