Would you fire a rep for getting drunk at a show

[Raven]

Interesting, Cory.....I've seen you pretty wasted, my friend...a particular argument between us in Phoenix comes to mind. We were both shouting at each other...actually, I believe that's how we met and have loved ever since.

Many of the examples you've given have much to do with owners of companies; and, if they wish to behave as such, then they will reap the benefits or consequences. It is their company. They get to set policy. Going broke or not is their choice.

When a rep, however, crosses lines that anyone with common sense should not cross...that's a different story.

There was a rep who used to be with a particular affiliate program..and pretty high up on the totem pole with this company. Anytime we tried to talk to him, no matter what time of day....he was in pretzel shape and unable to string two words together. When you're drunk, Cory, you get more articulate, if that's possible. See the difference?

When someone represents a company, on the clock or off....and, I'm only talking about shows now....they are presenting the face of said company....this particular person who is gone now.....lost his company business...period.

We've all been drunk; but, throwing up in public into flower pots while representing a company whose dime is paying for your trip...sorry, that's crossing the line...

Anything that reflects negatively on the company, unfortunately, is not always a good thing....whether we judge it or not.

Back in the day, we were more wild. Today, we can't afford to be.
