David; exactly.
Now, I too am a manager. That means, among other things, that I carefully consider how my actions or inactions affect the company. Anyone here who is a manager understands exactly what I am saying.
This case is not only about apparent blatant discrimination, it is about gross incompetence. For someone in a management position to perform so poorly, and do something so idiotic - and then still be employed in that position, makes the offence even more pronounced.
To fire two people under the guise that a paltry wage of 36 bucks hurts the bottom line is so transparently false, it boggles the mind. To allow it to go unpunished is indecent in the strongest sense. So, beyond the offence itself, there is a gross mis-management practices that dispel any wonder as to why Indigo is in perpetual financial difficulty. When they employ managers with this lack of common sense at the fron line, and then perpetuate it at head office by allowing them to remain...
The minimum wage issue is actually secondary. The family was obviously involved and it is not unusual to see folks who are disabled, clean tables in mall eateries and perform other perhaps simple tasks that the store or mall in question would probably not hire full-time staff for anyway. It allows for disabled folks to achieve some sense of dignity, and also allows employers to have them on staff. There are even government programs that help subsidize this type of activity.
