Dear Mr. Gomez:
As a Drug and Alcohol Counselor with Company Name’ Employee Health Services program, we expect our employees to maintain a level of professionalism associated with our brand, as well as have all the standards expected of a clinician. We are talking about maintaining patient confidentiality and carrying one’s self with a level of dignity.
Unfortunately, our investigations have found you have not been able to meet our expected standards. It is why we have terminated your position with Amble effective immediately. Not only do we have corroboration that you have been socializing with patients on your personal time, you have engaged in a sexual relationship with one of your patients. In this relationship, you have revealed private information about other patients. To worsen matters, said employee Ñ an account executive Ñ has shared confidential information with you about Amble clients and transactions. These acts not only belie the standards of your profession but of company policy.
Any personal belongings in your office will be shipped to you via FedEx on the same date as this letter. If you have questions, contact Soledad Carmichael in Human Resources.
Regards,
Walton Stephens
