When Leticia arrived at work late for the fourth time this week, her supervisor was angry. The supervisor shouted across the office, "This is the busiest time of year and you think it is okay to come to work late? There’s no room for a slacker like you on this team." The discipline of Leticia appears to violate the __________ rule for effective discipline.

Its clearly the supervisor is disappointed and may have the right due to lack of effort by Leticia. Regardless of any situation as a supervisor, you must follow all terms of the code of conduct in a professional manner. Which depending on employer, usually consists of:

Personal behavior

integrity and values

compliance

respect for others

professionalism

These are just a few that are important to know and understand on both sides of employer, management and employees. By shouting out across office, where perhaps other fellow co-workers are present, violates most of these. Any disciplinary action should be in private with supervisor and employee and remain confidential with a written statement signed by both supervisor and employee with a witness present during this private meeting.
