My staff embarrassed the organisation so badly. Should I sack him?

[King Belieal]

I went with my band to play for a show. The entire team were enjoying the music as we delivered excellently. My lead guitarist left the stage and I had to cover up for him on the piano. I assumed he was going to ease himself. Only to see him being hounded by the security to meet the owners of the event.

He was caught backstage fondling with a lady that was an attendee of the show. I was summoned by the owner of the event. I pleaded for him to be released. But that was a big embarrassment on the entire band. Should I sack him?

Such action would definitely spoil the reputation of your band no doubt, but is this the first time he is doing such a thing? If yes then it would be best you suspend or give him some punishment.

 

[Kross]

I don't think it is a big deal. You don't sack him. Just be sure that you don't take him to shows where there would be ladies.

 

[Kera]

While that is a big embarrassment, I would advise that the staff in question should be cautioned and given another chance.

 

[Min George]

Those kinds of things really embarrass the organisation. How would the client even rate your brand? Terrible.

 

[Springtime]

What he did really embarrass the organization. I will give him a serious warning but will give him a second chance.

 

[Starmix]

He is only human tempted, and it's not favorable to sack him. What he did was not a crime. Just call his attention and give a warning not to do the same offense.

He has broken the discipline of the band which is not acceptable. I think he should not be allowed in the band anymore.

Some employees would permanently change for good when warned against some bad seeds that they tend to commit for sure.

I don't see these as an embarrassment as far as the lady in question gives her consent. If it is rape or serious sexual offense, then you can sack him. In this case, you have to surcharge him for negligence of duty.

The funny thing is that the incident would be used to define the entire band by the client and all those that knew about the incident.
