I go and have one conversation and now everyone is blogging.
Just to defend a brief bit. I did try to explain the look in David's eyes but I might not have done well enough. I think I did though because Colin conceded that the look is that of triumph. Also the bit about the incompatant man is mostly correct. I do believe that if someone you employ makes a mistake costing you money that firing them is an option. Like I stated if the man recognizes the mistake, apologizes and learns from it then it is absolutely acceptable to keep him on as he is acknolwedging reality and his mistake. However if the man refuses to accept it as a mistake when proof is on your side then he is blanking out an aspect of reality. By doing this he opens himself to the desire and neccessity of doing it over and over. Let me give an example using the same situation. After making his mistake and not acknowledging it the man may be fired. If he is he will most likely take the case to court. Win or lose he is attempting to have reality re-written for him. Once you permit yourself this act of evil you must follow it up. In order to continue to justify himself he must then hate the court system saying it is unjust. In order to fight it he will most likely protest and join one of the many anti-reality movements which will lead him to curse the earth and the man who gave him the job in the first place, who's trust he betrayed. This could very well affect his entire life. This is not the man I want to work for me and would definately fire him. Reality cannot be cheated or evaded. In the end this man loses his self-esteem and the respect it earned.
