Today I got an email from my boss which I am going to share with all of you:

Hey Man, I’m sorry to let you know I will not be needing you anymore for this assignment, I have tried to work with you, but you have missed too many days and I keep finding myself having to explain to your users why you are not here, this is very hard because I know what you have going on, but unfortunately I have to make this discussion. Therefore, you need to call your recruiter and see if they can find you another assignment. I will not tell them anything bad and if you need to you can email and get my contact info and use me as a reference if you need to.

This is my reply:

Cordially;

Kevin;

I think this is not right.  I had to pick up my GF from her release form the hospital a day early.  I had no way to go around this.  I didn’t have an early warning as if I had known as early as friday I would have made better arraingments, but you know as early as last week that tomorrow or today I was going to be doing that.  So it was very easy to explain our clients I had an emergency or a personal matter to attend to.  Its not like other people in the team have not taken personal days off to deal with somethings.  What do you tell the customers then? As I have been there, they usually tell them, that X or Y person is not available that day and they help them anyways.

I got out of my way many times for the sake of issues the team was not prepared to handle and in many ways used my creativity and technical background to help the team when some things came up.  I always worked hard to meet the demand, and I always fixed myself when there were things I needed to get better at doing.

You have put me in a very difficult spot as of right now, because this entire situation was something that has been very difficult, draining and stressing and I was clear when I explained myself to you, that as soon as she was back I would not have this issues anymore.

This is really letting me out to hang dry, when I never let you guys or the team hanging dry.

But I guess this is how it is.

Good luck with the rest of your endeavors.

Gilbert

PS. I have never been let go or fired over email.  Thanks for always displaying your professionalism.
