Seems someone got a little drunk and started forcing himself on the girls at a recent show. If he was representing your company would you fire his ass?

If there was proof and complaints as to behaviour and drunken nature, then without a doubt.

Damn right I would!
Getting tanked is one thing but getting tanked and harassing women isn’t acceptable or good company PR.

I think it would depend alot on other factors... Such as how drunk was he ... Was he being unprofessional... Did you tell him not to get drunk.... The list goes on. There would be alot of variable to take in prior to an automatic firing.
I haven't been to a show in oh like 6 years and it was the only one I went to but from what I hear these shows can get pretty crazy in some circumstances and to be honest - a Rep who knows hwo to party and liven up the party is an asset as long as he isn't pushing the lines... |

The kid didn't get fired, though, he went back home and then resigned.
People do stupid things at shows, we all have our moments... that was pretty bad, but I'm not entirely sure what I'd have done about it were I his boss. |

I wasn't there, but that's the reports. I like Rinaldo, I've never seen him drunk. I feel for everyone invloved, on a personal note I know firsthand how binges and addictions can affect one personally, and professionally. Hopefully this is a wakeup call for him. |

Dunno him...but I'm sure I've done worse.
Everyone fucks up. To err is human , to forgive , divine ![]() However as Ant says this is a wake up call , some listen to the alarm and turn there lives around.Others don't. If it was my rep ( and I say this now that I'm clean and sober of course) I'd chat with him (ie coat him to within an inch of his life ) and offer options. Option 1. Stop drinking continue employment , with every help an assistance. Option 2. Continue being a drunken bum , leave the corp and hope he nevers serves me at Mickey D's. However... In 2001 I prolly would have appointed him to the board ;-)) Difference is , and I know this to be true....drunk and partying income = $0.00 if your lucky...its actually negative... Clean and sober , frankly , you can OWN this industry.

Personally, if I had a rep who did the above, I'd give him two options. They'd be:
1) You resign. or 2) I fire you. No excuse. Why is this industry any different than other industries? Sure, we have a hefty contingent of "webmasters" who belong to the Zoo Crew and aren't really in this as a business. That doesn't mean that the businesspeople amongst us don't have to conduct themselves as businesspeople. Give me a fucking break. I've seen so many people at shows and show parties that I immediately made mental notes about, to the effect of "do not ever work with or hire that guy/girl." <_< |

Am going to guess this was a kid
Good rule of thumb, if you're there as a rep for a company you don't own Don't get DRUNK in public Would I fire him? Most likely but not for that reason But I do also like the line of thinking, either go to AA or rehab or get fired |
