No more Butler
Saturday, November 29, 2008
He is not dead. Instead he was happy of the outcome.
I was sacked.
This is what happened.
If you remembered the post about what he told me, that if I dont come to work, the Boss will sack me.
I told him, Im on sickleave, how can I work? By the law, the Boss cant sack me on my sickleave?????
And he hanged up the phone...
Since three weeks, Michel had been asking Butler to see the Boss about my hospitalisation. Michel even gave Butler my sickleave forms by the Surgeon, which he signed and was sent to SSS for my salary.
Michel went 2X to see the Boss,Butler always told Michel, the Boss is not around.
Two visits, two denial that the Boss was not around.
Michel asked him the phone number of the Boss to call him and discussed my situation, Butler graciously refuse.
That creep!
I phoned and asked Butler, if I can have the phone number of the Boss.
Butler said, he cannot give it to me.
It irked me,but instead of fighting the goonie, I made a letter for the Boss and sent it via registered mail.
My letter goes like this:
Bonjour.Good day,
Que ma lettre vous trouve ainsi que Madame en bonne santé.
That my letter will find you and Madame in good health.
Je me dois de vous écrire car je ne peut vous joindre par téléphone.
I must write you, because I cannot join you by telephone.
(Butler) refuse de me laisse votre numèro et que mon mari ce soit presenté deux fois chez vous,(Butler) lui faisant savoir que vous n'etiez pas présent.
Butler refuse to give me the phone number and even my husband was here two times, Butler said, he doesnt want to know, as you are not at home.
Cette lettre est pour vous confirmer d'apres le dernier rendezvous avec le chirurgien qui'l me sera possible de travailler le Samedi 29 Novembre 2008 ou si vous desirez le Lundi, 01 Decembre 2008.
This letter is to confirm that after my last appointment with the Surgeon, he told me, that I can work on Saturday, 29th November or if you prefer on Monday,Dec 1 2008.
S'il vous est possible de me telephoner à XXXXXXXXX pour confirmer la date precise cela sera vraiment apprecié.
If you can possible to phone me to confirm the date of work, it would be much appreciated.
D'avance je vous en remercie.
Thank you in advance.
Recevez Monsieur ----------, mes sincéres salutations.
Please receive my sincere greetings.

Today, Saturday,November 29 at 10 am,my celphone rang.
-Allo.
-Francesca?
-Monsiuer, Bonjour, comment allez vous.(Sir, how are you.)
-You dont work today?
-Oh, I was waiting for your call, if you want me to work now, or Monday...
-Come today.
-D'accord, toute suite,j'arrive dans trente minutes.
Ok, right away, im coming in 30mins.
I told Michel, to bring me to Monaco.
I arrived, I have the keys, so I entered and said hello to Butler nicely and Bonjour to the Boss.He said that today is my last day and he was giving me two months salary, and all the termination letters with it.
Whaaaaattt?
I signed,OBLIGINGLY, (nakataas ang kilay ko, cant even cry, what for)and in 5 minutes, it was done, I asked him what did I do, why I was sacked.
He said, it was written in the paper. I read it and even in french language, I understand that he was accusing me of being not serious of my work and even damaged some of his things in the house.
Olaaaaahhhh. What things? He didnt want to discuss it to me...
I wanted to discuss about it, but he dismissed me by telling Butler:
Send her out.
Ganun????! Kakataas kilay ha.
I said bye, and manage even to say HAVE A NICE DAY to them, but I felt, hey, whats going on??? But being makulit ako, I managed to asked politely if he received my registered letter.He answered yes, and asked me why I have to send him a letter, why didnt I call?
I said, Butler told me, you are not around, and I asked your phone number, he doesnt want to give it to me. Even the house phone. Dont I have the right for the house phone number?
He just waved his hands and entered his bedroom.
But I planted on him, some doubts, Im sure of it...
Why would I send a letter if I can contact him by phone...
Anyway, I was schemed, and thats it.
I checked the payslips he gave me, it was for the month of Oct and Nov 2008. Normally, he should not pay me because it was my sickleave months.
But he sacked me, the day I restart my work and pay me instead.
He sacked me, because he was annoyed, I was on sickleave.
Ok, he got the money, he does what he wants.
But Im sure, he sacked me due to mis informations of Butler.
That crawler.
I wonder what lies he told the Boss about me.
I will see the Labor Office of Monaco about my case on Monday.
I dont mind the termination of my post. I still have a second employer in the afternoon. Besides, I can find work easy with my experiences.
But I have questions that needs to be answered by Labor Office.
I just want to make it sure if the months (October and November ) of my termination is valid,when I am on sickleave in those months.
Kakaloka, di ba?
No one works in my post when I arrive at the villa of the Boss. Even a hint that there's someone using my uniform. Nagtipid na ba sa salary si Bossing?
Or na Fried chicken na naman si Bossing...
Remember, I resigned 2005 and 2007, he called me back to work.
Hmmmnnn.
Mawawala na ang Butler Stories in my blog. I might as well reveal his identity, dont you think?
Kakaloka ha....Kadamu kong tanong!!!
Normally,on sickleave months, it is the SSS should pay me, not the Boss.
But then, money works. And the rich always have ways...
Abangan...

Post a Commentsorry to hear that. mukhang naisahan ka ni Butler while you were on sick leave. mukhang siniraan ka kay bossing. why else would he not give you bossing's fone number? syempre natatakot na mabisto ang mga kasinungalingan nya. sana hindi mo na muna pinirmahan ang termination letter. bayaan mong sila naman ang maghabol hehe.
Oh no! I never thought butler was that mean. I thought you just made him that way to make it look funny or to add spice to the stories.
Paki reveal na po identity nya. Hehehe....

Ay! Ganun? Better ask Labor if it's legal. But quivs, diba? Hanap na lang ng iba bossing.
And I agree with Josiet. Reveal Butler's identity. Bilis! Hehehe! Demanding itich. Hahahaha!

Don't reveal Butler's identity, in case everything works out and you will go back to work there, or if you're going to have a labor case. It will just add complications. Don't burn your bridges muna. Besides, if it turns out that Butler is a petty, malicious-minded mischief maker, he's the one who has the Boss's ear right now. If he finds his name on the internet in relation to your posts, he might make it difficult for you to establish your case. Make your labor dispute a private matter muna between you and the Boss and the Ministry of Labor. When you're ready to move on, then decide again whether you want to out him.
You should do damage control, the reasons of dismissal don't make you look good in case a new employer asks for references.
Privacy matters, no names or hints to identify anybody.

Even if this is resolved and you are rehired it would be very awkward and uncomfortable if you go back to work with this Boss and Butler. If your boss is required to recompense you for 2 months work (separate from the SSS sick leave pay) I suggest you just take it + insist on a good reference for future employment.
You may want to be semi-retired anyway (just half-day work) so maybe this is for a reason but I understand that it is a matter of principle.
My 2cents anyway - hope all ends up well. With what you went through stress is definitely something you can do without.
For legal reasons, I agree with some of the posts that you not name names. You are probably just being facetious about naming Butler anyway. ;-)

I was caught when I arrive, the papers are all ready. While Butler is at my back, like an evil cow.Grabeh. If only I could just grab the checks and go!haha.
I wont reveal Butler's identity. It would be a let down to my readers anyway. Itim na kilikili,pati budhi ang itim din, ayyyykss!
I was happy with the negotiated salary, when they rehired me last March 2007.
But with Butler around,I have to resign to the fact that only IDIOTS should work there.

oh my francesca, sorry to hear this! after a vacation, being sacked from work is not one of the things that we want to welcome us. but like you said, madali ka lang naman makaka-hanap ng work. based on your kuentos, mukang in-demand ang mga Filipinas sa Monaco. so think of it this way, na-extend ang sick leave mo! okay na rin :)
shocking moment ha when you arrived!waaahhhhh!!!kaloka!!!! If I were on your side ate Amy, naiinis ako kay butler!!! Shocking and no explainations for your termination!!! Sigh...so sorry to hear about that... -Mikkie-
It's a shame not to have anymore butler stories. But never mind. Whatever you do and whatever experiences you have, you always tell them in a funny way. It's not just the butler that makes your writing interesting. Maybe you will encounter another strange character in your job - so I will just wait for that one instead.
Good luck to whatever you do next as regards your job. :)

sobra naman yan.
ang alam ko pag basta ka nalang tinanggal sa trabaho ng walang dahilan eh hindi lang 2 months salary ang makukuha mo(paki-check nalang ito...)

sorry to hear that. but im sure you'll find another job in no time, you've got the experience, sabi mo nga.. ayan, nadagdagan ang sick leave mo hehe..
Hi Francesca, back with jetlag !
Sorry to hear about this and good thing you went to Legal office to study your case. What I know is the employer doesn't really have the right to terminate you except you did something seriously bad !
