[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 778859, member: 29360"] Ethics is the study of morality, what is morally right and wrong. I agree that discipline should be handled in a consistent manner, but being inconsistent or inexperienced or even stupid is far from being immoral or unethical. Immoral would be to lie about the reason for a termination or discipline. To be immoral or unethical you would have to know what you are doing is wrong. In my opinion, one should not be disciplined for the outcome, but for the behavior or action that led to the undesired outcome. In your example, delivering late air is the outcome. If all the proper procedures were followed by the driver, then discipline is unwarranted. On the other hand, if the driver failed to follow the correct procedures, discipline is warranted. Same theory applies to the pre-loader. The challenge for the supervisor or manager is determining what procedures were not followed and by whom and then to apply the appropriate discipline consistently based upon the action, not the outcome of the action.
