They had a personality conflict and there had been tension between them, so I ended up scheduling them on opposite sides of the building to keep them away from each other. (V1/Administrator) went and intervened. (V5) and (V6) both ended up getting terminated over it. On 6/19/25 at 8:03 am, V1 (Administrator) stated, I watched back the video tape of the fight that (V5 and V6) got into in the front South Hallway, (V5 and V6) were verbally arguing, then (V6) pushed (V5). I separated both of them and I had to terminate both (V5/CNA) and (V6/CNA) because we do not tolerate that behavior. V1 verified that (V5 and V6) were in the front lobby hallway (South Hallway) where residents reside when the incident occurred. 145000 Page 3 of 12 145000 06/25/2025 Washington Senior Living 1201 Newcastle Washington, IL 61571
