Question:
Sandra Sigouin had worked at a Montreal branch of the National Bank for 20 years before being promoted to the position of special loans administrative officer. She was given the post even though she lacked the proper qualifications and training. The new job went badly. Sigouin made many mistakes, and the bank warned her in writing that if she did not improve, she would be terminated. She asked to take courses and promised to improve, but no further training was provided. A few months later, she was fired for incompetence after failing to renew a letter of credit. The mistake cost the bank $850 000.What should Sigouin do? Do you think the bank had grounds to terminate Sigouin for just cause? Do you think the bank acted fairly? Should an employer be permitted to promote an employee to her level of incompetence and then fire her for incompetence? What are the risks for an employer that uses such a tactic?
