Can we talk about how the branch manager was getting 'daily exception reports'? Talk about a paperwork nightmare!

I think suspending the teller with pay for training is a good initial action to take.

Maybe the branch manager should have been more proactive in ensuring the teller received proper training.

That must have been overwhelming for the branch manager to receive daily exception reports.

Suspend the teller with pay? Sounds like a paid vacation to me! But hey, at least they're getting the training they need.

Reprimanding the branch manager? Nah, I think that's just passing the buck. The teller should be the one to get the training, no doubt about it.

An audit is definitely the way to go. Gotta make sure those transactions are legit and not part of some shady money laundering scheme.

Yikes, that teller really dropped the ball! But terminating them right away seems a bit harsh, especially since they haven't had the training yet.

But shouldn't the branch manager also be held accountable for not providing proper instruction?

I agree with Harley. The teller needs training before continuing.

I think the teller should be suspended with pay for now.
