Dear All,
Today I have received an email from one of my Branch Manager (BM) who is reporting an executive of his branch for misconduct. The BM has said that he has asked the executive to resign or he will be terminated on the basis of his misconduct. As off now, we have put his decision on hold and we are inquiring.
Case 1. BM reported today that he found the executive misusing the company property after the office hours on Saturday. The executive had called an unknown female to our branch office and had closed the shutter of the office from inside. He had switched on the ACs and lights and when the BM reached office to check, he found both our executive and the unknown female seated in our office premises.
Case 2. On the other side, the executive who was reported for misconduct today by the BM had already sent an email on Saturday evening with 4 photographs attached. The photographs showed the BM, one other executive employee of our office and two outsiders in our office premises. The executive has complained in his email on Saturday that since the BM has joined the office atmosphere is spoiled. He has reported that the BM and his ex-company colleagues party in our office premises, spoil the office atmosphere. He has also sent the pictures of a birthday celebration being done around 6.45 pm on 15th Sept. in the office premises.
Now,
- we are 1000 kms away from this branch.
- we have never met any of these employees as they were recruited by the country head (who is now no longer working with this company)
- both the BM and the executive have put up allegations on each other
What can be done in this case?
