Birds: Firing Offense
A bus driver gave the Preznit, what I would consider, the appropriate salute, and then was fired for it?
Congressman Dave Reichert called the district's superintendent to report that the president, who rarely takes note of the world around him, happened to notice the upraised finger. Shortly after that, the driver was fired -- a seemingly harsh response to a rather minor incident. Again, it would be useful to know whether lesser discipline has been imposed upon the driver for other work rule violations, and whether a policy of progressive discipline (starting with, for instance, a warning or a brief suspension) has been used with other employees who commit similar violations.
It won't surprise me to find out that this driver has a stellar driving record and is considered a star employee. But we shall see.
