This manager faced a dilemma when one of his employees was consistently late to work without giving notice. After a warning and a formal reprimand, the employee filed a complaint against the manager for harassment. The manager then dug through records and found evidence that the employee had been late multiple times before, leading to the reinstatement of the formal reprimand. However, the manager's decision has caused some to label him as a harda**. What do you think? Was he justified in firing the employee or did he take it too far?

🚪Fired for Chronic Lateness - Right or Wrong?🤔
Is it fair to fire an employee for being chronically late even if it doesn't affect operations?

The employee filed a complaint of harassment and dishonesty against the manager, but evidence showed otherwise. Now the manager is facing backlash from his team and is questioning if he made the right decision. Let's dive into this tricky situation and explore both sides.
