Why would anyone snap pictures in a private place/establishment of employees without asking permission is beyond me…i see two DD employees in the picture (now which is the one that didn’t want to be photographed? lol)

and btw stop eating donuts…it shows…

Why is Jim referring to himself in the third person? Is this Bob Dole talking about Jim?

MCM’s comments: Hearsay, with the same oath qualifier.

In the TV courtroom, testimony is admissable, and hearsay is not, save in extreme circumstances.

Unless and until the mysterious tape comes to light, the balance favors Jim, IMO. I’ve got nothing against MCM, I just know what she’s laying out is hearsay.

Just as a general comment, I wouldn’t call someone who’d summarily fire an employee the first time they arrived 5 minutes late “no-nonsense”, because a policy like that is nonsensical. It essentially states that your employment will only last until something beyond your control makes you late for work, and has nothing to do with those who are habitually tardy.

I’d /never/ work for someone that rigid, uncaring, and unreasonable. I did that once, and saw a co-worker fired for obeying a manager’s orders to do something that policy stated was a firing offense (nothing illegal, just a policy). It still seemed the better way to go to they guy, because disobeying a manager was also a firable offense. That owner prided himself as being a “no-nonsense” guy, too.

Jim wins, unless and until the tape becomes public, and proves him wrong.
