Tommy Boy
In the case of Tom Mendola very interesting conversation was made in class. Tom worked at a job that he did not like. That was his first problem. I believe that family and work should be separate, so to get his family involved in his work ethic should not be done. Yes, his family is having problems, but that has nothing to do his work and his laziness. I believe that Tom was given too many chances and should have been fired.

I agree with you completely. Tom's personal life should not have been a factor in the company's reaction. He blantantly failed to comply to his supervisor's requests multiple times. Furthermore, I did not agree that he should have been treated any differently because of his age. In fact, I posted a blog regarding this argument. You might interested in reading it.
