Dear Claude & Justin,
Is it unethical to fire an employee just because of her Lost discourse? I should start by saying that she is a shipper. She is always trying to spoiler me and some of the rest of us here in the office. I'm her boss, and I practically have to utilize force to keep her from telling me about the "next week on Lost." Plus, she is always trying to argue with us, and is always wrong. Just now, for instance, she interrupted my conversation with my own boss (Lost is all any of us talk about, except when she is around, and we just try to keep mum) to claim that the Dharma losties are in 1974 instead of 1977! Honestly!
I am at my whit's end. I tried calling my HR liason, but she hung up on me; I think she thought it was a prank. Help me!
Desperately,
