[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 956557, member: 60724"] Caymen, Regarding that particular story about the 40 year veteran being fired for sleeping on the job, might I ask: Do you think that "the rules are the rules" attitude, enforced in a black and white fashion is always a good thing? What I mean by that is, what if this particular employee just had gone through some personal tragedy that made him sleep deprived? Or, maybe he was on some medication that inadvertently made him drowsy? In other words, what if this were an otherwise model employee and one incident, and not otherwise egregious in any way? Are there any examples or situations where an employee might fall asleep on the job, and the best thing for all involved is to simply "let that one time go" and work to make sure whatever caused it doesn't happen again? Just wondering your opinion on "rules are the rules" and their strict enforcement. Also, regarding "rules are the rules" and the strict enforcement of them, what are your thoughts on trying to fire someone for something that there is no rule against? Do you think that every possible firing offense has to be documented with a rule in a contract? TJR [/QUOTE]
