[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 526339, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]Yes the supervisor can fire you. It generally comes down to whether the manager gives the supervisor that authority. If for instance you blatantly refused to follow the supervisors instructions then he could fire you on the spot and the manager would support that decision unless you had a very good reason for refusing those instructions. Even then you may find yourself out on the streets for a few weeks until they see it your way. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]If the supervisor is writing you up and taking progressive discipline then you have reasons to be concerned. If all he is doing is threatening to write you up then he's doing you a favor in terms of discipline. Until you recieve a warning letter the write ups really do not mean that much. The threat of a write up even less. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]But don't ever believe that a supervisor does not have the authority. If your behavior is aggregious enough that person can fire you. Respect the position and do your job and you'll be fine.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
