So let's do something short of termination and tell him that we didn't terminate him because he told the truth.
Had he lied, we would have.
That's the approach we need to take.
And we knew this.
I already knew this.
He'd go back and tell all his friends.
I told him the truth.
And that's the only reason I kept my job.
Because I think that's going to encourage people to do, even when they've done something wrong, to do the right thing, even in those moments.
To not do another bad thing to cover up the bad thing.
Because I think when that happens, more bad things happen.
And so, yeah.
And the employee, he had been with us for like eight years, was a great employee straight and narrow from that point on.
And so that's kind of like how I like to approach things.
That's great.
People over the rules and stuff.
You know, that's interesting because a lot of that is dictated by your leader in your leadership.
You know, and I've worked in organizations where I realized I can't work here long because it's very much a place that doesn't respect that people are people and humans and things happen to humans.
And so we've got to just make sure that we allow for human things to happen, but not things that are like, you know, defiance.
Again, the situation that I dealt with, that was a defiant situation, but we had had him for so long.
