quick story...this is probably 15 years ago, working for a different company back then...but i was the GM of the site, and i caught one of my sales people selling pills in the parking lot at work.
so i wrote him up, filled out the discharge paperwork and was about to call the police and have him arrested. i was on the phone with HR, and my cell phone rang. it was the owner of the company, who i reported to directly, and he basically said "hey, this guy is your best sales rep, are you sure this is the right thing to do? i mean, after all, what would God want you to do here?"
my reply, as sarcastically as i could, "probably get a drug dealer off the street.....
unless his numbers are good?"
lol.
i knew after that my time was short with that company. and i learned right then...always get someone else involved....you need witnesses..........
