Never mind rights or leverage, do they care nothing about the working relationship with their employees? The work environment I&#x27;m used to is much more collective. If there is a screw-up, it&#x27;s the team that screwed up, and we fix it together. If it&#x27;s the same person who causes the team to screw up again and again, it would be a different matter, but when does firing someone over a mistake solve a problem? And if a colleague was let go because his PC started making pacman noises, most of the team would probably quit the same day. I can&#x27;t even imagine it happening. More likely the boss would joke about it: &quot;Hey, wobbleblob, it sounds like you&#x27;re not very busy at he moment. In that case I have a nice chore for you&quot;
