Question

Drake would often come in late to work in spite of repeated, formal warnings by his manager. Drake's manager, Matt, lost his patience and fired him. In the event that Drake sues Matt for unjustly firing him, which of the following, if true, would help Matt win the case?
a. Matt always promotes the use of collaboration software
b. Matt always refuses to participate in the grapevine
c. Matt is not particularly fond of the management by wandering around technique
d. Matt always maintains a paper or electronic trail for all his messages
e. Matt has a tendency toward stereotyping employees

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Matt always maintains a paper or electronic trail for all his messages.

Explanation:

In front of any court case, the evidence is the only means through which the defendant or the plaintiff can support their positions. In Matt's case, assuming Drake would sue him for firing him without apparent reason, Matt must present the hard or electronic documents where the company he works for informed Drake about he being constantly late at work. In such a way, Matt can prove Drake has been notified he had to change his behavior to meet the company's demands but, as he would continue coming late, the company was forced to terminate his contract under legal terms.
