MASON CITY – Naomi Olson of Mason City can rest a little easier now that her her husband has won his unemployment benefits.
Naomi’s husband, Matt, who is disabled, was fired from his job at the Globe Gazette as ad inserter on July 20th, 2012 for what the Globe called “misconduct.” Naomi described Matt as a good employee who worked at the Globe for almost 5 years and had “volunteered to work days and nights (while) they were looking for someone on nights.”
According to the Iowa Workforce Development Unemployment Insurance Appeal, a co-worker told Matt his work looked “like crap” and he then called her a “bitch.” According to the appeal, Matt was suspended by the Globe 3 days later and told to “come back on Friday to learn his fate.” When he came back, he was terminated.
The Globe Gazette then sought to deny Matt his unemployment benefits.
However, an administrative law judge concluded that Matt was “discharged for no qualifying reason” and is eligible for his unemployment benefits. “The employer’s account may be charged for benefits paid for Mr. Olson.”
Speaking to Naomi, she said “Matt continues his job search with great expectations.”
If these people would start basing their comments on their brains rather their emotions, they would be a lot more credible.
Good story Matt. You will always have the bottom feeder gutless wonders trying to discredit you because you started something that is successful.
She commented on his work, nothing about him personally. He attacked her personally. What does that tell you about him. He may be a good worker, but surely is not a gentleman.
And how do you know this? Were you there? Is this the co-worker? Does the Globe know your commenting on here? You might want to be careful or you’ll be next you trader!
btw, I dought thats how it happened, that co-worker is a pos she has done it to others as well!
Nice try though.
If someone critiques my work and says it looks like crap, I for sure would take that personally. Sounds to me like she’s sleeping with the editor.
A personal attack is calling someone stupid, ignorant, dumb, retarted, ugly, etc. A non-personal attack being misconstrued to be a personal attack is totally illogical.
Telling someone that their work looks “Like Crap” would be considered a personal attack, who are you trying to fool? YOU, I mean, this co-worker calls everyone names, puts them down on a daily basis and gets by with it. She has told lie after lie to the higher ups and they believe her. She is a habitual liar. If Matt wanted to take this further he could and would win in court, This ‘co-worker’ has lengthy writes ups and most of them are for harasment (unless they mysteriously disapeared) but for some reason she still has her job and most others lost theirs.Whats really going on??
I love when MM comments to himself on his own story.
Hey Watcher, if I wanted to comment on this story, I would. And I would use my real name. I don’t think it’s a secret about my opinion that I think the Globe is a rotten place to work. Watch for a lot more layoffs at that rat hole in the future.
Sorry to hear this Matt, I know you were a very good worker, everyone knows you gave your all. Just remember, they dont deserve a good worker like you.
Co-worker’ and Globe’ YOU should be ashamed of yourselves, why do you continueously treat people like this, I hear you even treat your drivers/carriers/haulers this way also. Soon you will be NOMORE!
We ALL know WHO this Co-Worker is and so does she, how do you sleep at night knowing YOU are the cause of this poor man being unemployed now? You have caused so many people who worked there to either quit or be fired because you constantly harrased them AND you get by with it, YOU know who you are and I know your reading this. You are one pathetic human being and someday the globe will see through you.
Ahh yes, I think I know who your referring to and she IS definetly a B* and likes to cause problems with everyone she encounters! She also likes to pretend shes your friend but then back stabs you when your down. Your right, she is the reason some workers quit, they couldnt take anymore of her crap and the globe never did a thing about it even though they have cameras through out the building.
YOU my dear are a POS!
