To fire or Keep
Last week, we faced a difficult decision in our HR Simulation. We all know the situation: who do you fire or give a written warning to: the manager accused of sexual harassment or his subordinate that lied on her resume. Both are grounds to be fired. The female did get very good reviews, but she lied. I believe that they both don’t have a case to argue that they didn’t do this. Because the two offences separate would have caused both of their firing, putting these two employees together, doesn’t change the situation to have only one of them fired. In our group we were split. Two of us wanted to fire both, the other two to fire the manager and written warning to the girl, and the last to not fire anyone. Who knows what the right decision was? I guess we’ll see.
