Re: Drivers and guards to be sacked.

[David Bradshaw <davidbradshaw@my-deja.com>]

OK everyone, here is a hypothetical situation for you.

You are the operator of a business. This business is essentially
engaged in servicing the general public (as opposed to a business-to-
business model).

You have an employee, lets call him Fred, whose role involves a
considerable technical component, which is required to ensure the
smooth operation of the business and, in turn, the smooth, safe and
effective delivery of the service to the customer. However, Fred's role
also involves a high degree of interaction with the public, and is
highly visible to the public - he is part of the business's public face.

Whilst he has been performing his technical skills well, his poor
appearance has been negatively impacting on the appearance of the
business, and contributing to a poor public perception of the business.

Unfortunately, Fred's appearance has been below par. Company policy
requires the wearing of a uniform, and this uniform includes a tie.
Fred has not been wearing his tie, as required by company policy, and
also has been wearing his shirt untucked with the top few buttons
undone.

Fred has already been counselled regarding this on multiple occasions.
He still refused to wear his uniform as required. Therefore Fred was
given a formal warning. However, Fred continues to flout the reasonable
instructions of you, his employer.

What is his employer to do? Fred has not heeded multiple warnings
regarding his conduct, and ignores the instructions of you the employer.

Regards, DB.
