It makes sense to escort a disgruntled employee out, but security policies can sometimes get more than a bit silly. A few years ago I finished a computer contract in Washington state. The customer was happy with my work, and I was happy with the customer and ready to move on. When I was packing up my personal effects my supervisor told me that policy required him to escort me to my car. We were parting on excellent terms, but I could not be trusted because my contract was over.
I don’t think Betty should have been fired and she surely did not need an escort to get her personal things and leave the building. I hope she does not remain friends with Alex
Dale may be a softie, but he still gets Betty’s chair for as long as he is still employed. .fellow co-workers never cease to surprise. And some days…. that is a very nice thing.

@dcm1984 ~ dittoI guess Dale has Betty’s chair now, doubt it will do him any good with “Hatchet Woman” Alex around…..

I like the way Betty took charge. They’re making a big mistake letting her go.
