This Paul is the antithesis of every great boss I've ever worked for. He writes a bunch of Barnum statements, any of which are subject to the sole interpretation of a despot and most of which are broad enough to cover almost any behaviour.

It's an entirely negative framing of people management and defines a corporate culture of fear. I'd never sign up for it, but then again, I've always had the luxury of choosing my employer.

Moreover, firing on this kind of basis is knucklehead stuff. It's easy. You steel your heart, cite a rule and pull the trigger. If you want a challenge, trying making public sector jobs redundant. The resulting press coverage, union hardball and politicking will blow your mind.
