This employee had continued absenteeism and tardiness issues as well as not showing up to work 4 times in one year, 2 of them withing the last week. She was fired after 4 supervisors reviewed her personnel file. Within 4 hours, our director unfired her to give her one more chance. Needless to say to say, the 4 supervisors are pretty disappointed in the director.

Much documentation had been done with this employee. She had a decision making leave 4 days before she didn't show up for work again. That's 2 times not showing up to work in 1 week.

The director had agreed with the firing but changed her mind 2 hours after the employee was fired.

Not fair, it totally undermines the whole management staff. Terrible, that director probably has some sort of personal interest to allow something like this to continue.

Disappointed in giving someone another chance? Besides her getting to work tardy, she may produce good work & he's weighing that & giving her another chance. Sorry they are disappointed, but as a director he can overrule, hopefully they'll see productivity come from it & not hold a grudge.
It's like some Senators & Congressmen are disappointed with the President overruling what they want passed or not passed. But they still respect his authority above them to do so. And hope his decision won't fail because it's done & you'd want to see progress. Respect your chain of command. Our Reps & Senators do that on a daily basis over bigger issues with bigger consequences!
(maybe, besides her tardiness, he likes her attitude & productivity better than some.....)
It's not okay for someone to change their mind? It's okay to change your mind sometimes, especially when you think that it'll be for the better to do so. The supervisors may feel disrespected BUT the director will, also, feel disrespected if they think her feelings don't count & she's not counted as being above them (which she is) to make a final decision.
Remember how some people mocked President Bush Sr. when he had said, "read my lips, I will not raise taxes" but then he ended up retracting it cuz he found it necessary or better to do so/change his mind. Then people mocked it & said, "read my hips." I find it hard to believe that anyone out there has NEVER changed their mind.

wow that person is really lucky! hmm well maybe the director saw something very good that the unfired employee did for the company. sometines its not just the absenteesims and tardiness that should be put into consideration. it always has the positive and negative side right, and the fact that people constantly changes makes a fair judgement to unfire your officemate. being fired might make your officemate realize the importance of his or her job. what you can do is give him/her a heads up. let him/her know that you guys are there to help not to condemn ok! be gentle lol! and most of all have fun! *wink!

so why was not the director signed off BEFORE the employee was termed?
that would have saved a lot of face
learn the lesson - and move forward

If circumstances were reversed would you not also like to have another chance.
I'm glad Jesus Christ is merciful...and that is probably why your director got to where he/she is...God can count on him/her to be merciful too.
