A few months ago I got a friend (F) of mine a job at my company. I tried to get him on my team but we ended up putting him with a manager (M) I don’t really like.
Yesterday M asked F to stay late. It was 5min before he was supposed to be off so he said he only had about half an hour but he would stay. M lost it and told F to just go home. F left and showed up this morning. I just found out F was written up for insubordination.
I absolutely hate that I recommended this job to F and he is being treated this way. Luckily I have some authority as a part owner and I can probably get this dropped. But it makes me feel like an a$$ for putting my friend in that position.
