Kitchen wardens

[mrs_persson]

Bugger. I hate to see him fired because it's Billy, but ...

Can't we just suspend him? Mitigating circumstances and all? Theft is theft, of course, and a knife in particular, but-damn it, this one's not easy.

Re: Kitchen wardens - oooooooooops.

It's what I'm thinking.

Thing is, we fired that creepy butcher bastard for less. It might come back to kick us in the arse.

I'll talk to him and figure out an... excuse? No, reason.

Re: Kitchen wardens

[mrs_persson]

What did the butcher get fired for? You probably told me once, but I've forgotten.

Obviously we can't let it go unpunished altogether. But Billy has a long sound record of reasonably good behaviour, where I imagine Clapet did not before he messed up, and some might argue that getting killed was punishment enough.

A month's suspension perhaps, with anything else at the discretion of his warden?

Oh, Iroh did it. I was just a bystander, but he was only temping during a port or something. He told the vampires the blood had been poisoned. It hadn't.

Yeah, we can't really treat getting killed as a punishment, or folks'll take that the wrong fucking way too. But... point taken.

I'll get his story, but work with that as a starting point.

I agree that a suspension might be best, given what seems to be an otherwise fine record of good behaviour. Then perhaps for a month or so we could move him onto something that requires no access to knives - washing dishes, something of the like - as a probationary period.

But of course his reasoning for the theft is important too.

Re: Kitchen wardens

[mrs_persson]

The probationary period is also a good idea.

I'll trust your judgement on this, Paddy.

Sounds good to me. I'll work something out and get back to you after he's got better. Ain't gonna bug him now.
