This decision-based incident describes George’s dilemma about how to handle both his boss Frank’s demand to immediately fire a good employee for one mistake and Frank’s tendency to override George despite the high performance of the store George managed. Frank made the firing demand after viewing some security footage offsite, illustrating his tendency to micromanage George from the other store he owned about 90 miles away on issues like inventory stock and human resources. George fully realized Frank, as owner of both stores, had every right to make whatever demands he wished. However, George felt Amy was a good employee and needed to determine whether it was worth the risk of potentially angering Frank by advocating not to fire Amy? Further, George wondered how to approach the managerial autonomy issues with Frank without coming off like a whiner who was questioning Frank’s judgement? Regardless, George had to quickly decide whether to advocate or follow orders?
