Methinks Manny won’t be around long enough for somebody to do those things.
I once fired a good engineer for being less than 2 minutes late getting to a flight gate - and the hatch was closed.
He missed our flight... His portion of the planned presentation had to be done by an unprepared colleague.
Normally - this wouldn't be a borderline firing offense..
But this particular clown had a habit of cutting things too close and keeping others waiting for him to start a meeting or leave in a car together.... He displayed the attitude that HIS time was more important than mine or his colleagues.
Missing the flight by less than two minutes was the final straw — I frankly I wouldn't have given a damn no matter WHY he was late THAT time.... His history had destroyed any claim for consideration.....
Duke's case may be the same...
Without all the facts it's a tough call to make.
