The other day my boyfriend (who is also a coworker) and I were discussing how the bad habits of some people in the workplace is detrimental to their coworker's peace of mind and job performance, health safety in the kitchen (we work in a kitchen) and even their own happiness. My boyfriend mentioned that because these people have been 'warned' many times about their behaviors, and they have not been fired yet, the threats become empty and they do not learn their lesson. They learn not to take their job responsibly, they drag down the performance of the kitchen, and they hurt others around them. So the question was posed amongst each other, "If you were the boss of the kitchen, would you fire this person?" Firing the person will create many hard feelings but hopefully, a lesson learned and more responsibility gained. So this is what I answered. "Actions should be determined by what will bring about the most happiness and contentment for all parties whether it be now or for the future." In that case, I would fire the person. This is my mission for you: According to your experience and knowledge, pick apart that statement, adding or subtracting words, changing it, and making it better according to what you believe could make it more true. I want to see what happens!
