Quote:Maybe not, but you asked us whether we thought he should be fired. I do.fair comment
Quote:Nope. I'm saying you might hire a pedophile to work on your fishing boat but you wouldn't hire one to babysit your kids. It's about whether his predispositions make it likely that he will / will not be able to do his job properly.it does appear that his boss thinks the guy is good at his job.
Quote:So I'm not saying the guy shouldn't have expressed his opinions, or that he should be fired for doing so. I'm saying that the fact that he holds such opinions so strongly means he shouldn't have been given the big stick he wields as an ADA in the first place. But, OK, a mistake was made and now that we know something about him which we didn't realise at the time, we should rectify that mistake by taking the bit stick off him.well i can't argue with the logic. but if he has rights he has rights. again while his boss thinks him a bully he also thinks him capable of doing the job. the thing is a pedo has committed some crime this person hasn't. no charges have been brought against by the alleged victim so wouldn't sacking him when no charges have been laid be unfair.?
Quote:No. The boss has expressed an opinion, that he disagrees with but abides by the decision. He hasn't attempted to orchestrate a campaign to achieve his personal aims in spite of the decision.
people have been sacked for similar behaviour and failed in the fighting of said sackings. as his boss he has the right to sack the guy. from other supreme court cases the odds are that any litigation by the alleged stalker over his dismissal would fail. what i'm asking is that if that's the case why not just sack him ?
