The Tom Mendola Case
First off I firmly believe in this case that Tom Mendola should be fired. Luckily, I was also put on the side of the room that was supposed to debate why he should be fired. First off the majority of workers in a factory like Tom was in are on a check to check basis with their own family, so a boss will not be able to single out one worker and bend to his needs. After being reprimanded multiple times and being allowed to change positions Tom had plenty of chances to straighten up. When I was 18 I began working in a factory, and the first thing I learned was that just because I am younger the older workers aren't going to take it easy on me. The older workers are working to support their families. If you slow them down they won't be happy with you.

Cory,
I totally agree with what you are saying. He should of been fired after the second infraction. I was put on the side where he should of not been fired but I feel that they should of let him go. He was lazy and immature and needs to grow up if he wants to support his family.
