Is it true that the dishwasher was fired from the hotel for leaving leftovers for the children?

Li Hong, a 47-year-old Liuhe woman, worked as a dishwasher in a five-star hotel in Nanjing for four years. Three months ago, she left some leftovers for her guests to nourish her son who was studying in college, but she was fired for stealing hotel property. Li Hong hasn't recovered yet. In the past four years, she has often been troubled by dumping food. "Things are fine, just tell me to pour them out and throw them away, and commit iniquity! I stayed and wanted my children to have a taste. How did it become theft? " When interviewed by our reporter yesterday morning, Li Hong still felt bitter. Take away the food thrown away by the guests. Li Hong's education is not high, and he has no complaints about the position of dishwasher. "There is little rest and no overtime pay. Less than a month 1500, including food and shelter. I think it doesn't matter whether I am tired or not. " The husband works as a security guard in another company in Nanjing, and his son, who just turned 22, goes to college in Nanjing. As a mother, she seldom has the opportunity to cook for her children, which makes Li Hong feel guilty all the time. The hotel where she works is a five-star luxury hotel in Nanjing. A guest spends enough money on a buffet to wash dishes for several days. The duty of her and her colleagues is to clean up the used tableware. "But when a lot of tableware was sent, there was food in it." Li Hong said that the hotel's management process for buffet food is that anything that can be reused will be put back in the refrigerator. Anyone who thinks that the guests have eaten the leftovers should not sell them any more, just retreat to the background and dump them. "Summer, winter, the fish and ducks, are not bad, with up to two days, the guests' leftovers, throw them away. Throw it in the trash can and drag it away with tissues and other sundries. Especially bread, throw it bucket by bucket. What we dump every day cannot be bought with a month's salary. I really can't stand it ... "Many hotel staff are very upset about this, and sometimes they are reluctant to dump it. Everyone will stay quiet and take it home to eat. "It can be said that except for the leaders, most of the other staff members have taken them home." Of course, as we all know, we only take discarded food. Those that can be resold and sent back to the refrigerator will not be troublesome. Unexpectedly, she was fired for 201165438+On the evening of February 7, some processed food at the front desk, such as leftovers, was sent to Li Hong. "When I saw it, it was all good, so I was told to throw the trash can." Li Hong is reluctant to leave. "Every time I pour something, I think, if only these were given to my son!" Son, a junior, is growing up and still very thin. She used to bring food to her son. This time, the food in front of her made her hesitate again. "It's cold anyway, you can put it for a while." She brought a plastic bag and put the food away quietly. "Some fish balls left by the guests, half a plate of roast duck and a piece of lean meat." But that night, Li Hong found himself hitting the gun. "A staff member of the engineering department originally wanted to check another male employee with something. I saw my bag. He believes that this was left by a male employee and he must investigate. " If Li Hong doesn't come out and admit it, the hotel investigation will be inconclusive, or it may be nothing, or everyone will be punished collectively. But she didn't want any trouble, and the next morning, she admitted it voluntarily. "I thought at the time, give me a fine at most, and I will admit it." Unexpectedly, she wrote the inspection, introduced the incident and handed over the materials to the company's human resources department. The feedback after three days was to fire her. The dishwashing department was already short of people, and I felt that the punishment was heavier, so I took her to the restaurant manager again. The manager of the food and beverage department didn't listen to any of her explanations, so he replied, "Do it according to the employee manual! You violated the provisions of 8. 1.4.7. " Check the employee handbook again when you get back. It says: Do not intentionally destroy, steal, cheat or embezzle the property of guests, hotels or employees. This is unacceptable to Li Hong. "Those things are thrown away by the hotel. Besides, who hasn't taken it? Fired me for this. I think it is too heavy. Throw away what is still edible, right? " As for wasting food, the other party said it was a "normal consumable" of the hotel. Since you can eat it again, the hotel will not use it again. Isn't it a way to avoid waste for employees to take it home? In this regard, Manager Luo said that this practice is definitely not allowed. "What's wrong with star hotel employees taking leftovers home?" The lawyer analyzed "theft" and said that Li was honest and could bear hardships. It is not difficult to find a comparable job. But for three months, she has been very sweet. She turned to Xuanwu District Legal Aid Center for help, and the center immediately appointed legal aid lawyer Ju Zhigang to represent her in the case of economic compensation for the termination of the contract. Ju lawyer told reporters that the hotel's "theft" is legally untenable. "If you think she is stealing, you should call the police, and the public security will determine the fact of theft. And what she wants to take away is the leftovers that the guests have paid for, and the ownership belongs to the guests. The hotel only handles it for you. It is also unreasonable to identify these foods as hotel property now. Isn't she staying, and the hotel will take it back and resell it? " It stands to reason that Mr. Ju also believes that it is normal for employees to be unwilling to dump food that can still be eaten. In general, small hotels and restaurants, and some even distribute them to employees. This is also in line with the living habits of most people. Now, the hotel has fired Li Hong for this, and the lawyer thinks this is a mountain out of a molehill. My son is crying because he is sorry. When my mother learned that her mother was fired, Li Hong's son Wang Qiang cried anxiously. When interviewed by reporters, his mood was still very heavy. He said that his mother brought him food several times during college. "She is busy at work, so it is rare to have time to come out to see me. I don't always bring things. The bread is good and the fish is there. " Of course he knows, it was left by the guests. But as a farmer's child, he doesn't mind and understands his mother's feelings. Sometimes when a person can't finish eating, he will share it with his roommates. Roommates don't know the specific source of these foods. But this time, Wang Qiang felt guilty for his mother's unemployment. He thought it was his mother's love for him that caused her to be confused for a moment. "I'm sorry mom. If I hadn't eaten what she brought at the beginning, she might not have done it ... "But Li Hong said, it's not just for her son. She really can't bear to throw away so many delicious foods for nothing. "When we were young, which have these? How many years have it been? " As a dishwasher expelled from a star-rated hotel, Li Hong, a mother, couldn't understand whether she was right or wrong.
