“Looks like the manager might be lookin’ for a new job.”
Just what I was thinking. One can never overestimate the idiocy of top level politicaly correct uber-management.
I have the impression that the "fire the employee who shoots" policy is required by liability insurers in order to avoid expensive injury/wrongful death claims.
The only elements required to produce such claims are a perp with a hole in him, a John Edwards-type lawyer, and a dumb or sympathetic jury. If the company can argue in court that the employee violated specific company policy by shooting, its liability is reduced. Reduced potential liability translates to reduced insurance cost.
But IANAL and that is just my guess.
