I think I actually remember your situation you had where your boss wanted you to basically be responsible for letting go of someone but you ended up taking some advice and framing it in a way to your boss that the process of it all was more of a detriment and that it also shouldn't fall on your shoulders as it's not your responsibility either.
Yeah that was it! I ended up having a conversation with the employee as my boss insisted on giving him a written warning despite my advice to just go a letter of concern and make it an informal warning. I was just honest with him about the whole situation and he's contacted fair work . I have a feeling when my boss returns from leave in a few days, she going to be pissed at me and from what I've been told from other staff who have been at this business a while, she can be very vindictive when she feels crossed by people. I'm too old to put up with that shit so I'm probably going to give notice this week or next.
Just remember to document everything in case you need to rely on it or on fair work.
Nothing worse than someone vindictive but she doesn't sound like she'll do it in a smart way either.
