Not what you're looking for?

In spite of the work-related issues, John has received satisfactory to above-average performance ratings over the past 2 years. John recently complained to HR about a perceived safety issue. John was confronted by his supervisor Bill about nonwork issues, such as hanging out in a maintenance closet to rest. During the discussion, John became upset, so Bill has come to HR for assistance in terminating John.
