Given that scenario, if YOU were the one fired for being 20 minutes late for the first time in the year, and you knew it wasn't fair, would you get the manager who fired you fired for fraternizing with you and some coworkers at a party a couple weeks ago that you have proof he was at? Or would you let it go?

Replies penguincube Posted at 10:59 pm on June 10, 2008 Depends.  On one hand, they deserve it; not because they fraternize with employees, but because they show favoritism.  I am a manager in a company with anti-fraternization policies, and I can still be caught drinking at employees' houses after work or hanging out with them on days off.  But I don't show favoritism when we're on the clock, and I don't expect my employees to abide by any policies that they don't know that I abide by myself.   In deciding if you want to pursue this, ask yourself what you have to gain.  Is it worth your time?  Do you want your job back?  If you think it's worth the effort, go ahead and take them down, but also realize that sometimes just because something is just, doesn't mean it's not better just to move on.

It's not really what he did, it's mainly going by the book, like they did with me today. It's against policy for any manager to hang out with any of us outside of work, no matter what it is we're doing. And since they kept repeating what "the policies" of the company are to me today, I feel like throwing those exact policies right back in their faces. But i wasn't sure if i should or not. You definitely should.
