title: Ethics, discipline and discharge.
abstract: Discipline in today's workplace focuses on a collegial "training that corrects, molds, strengthens or perfects." It requires self-discipline, which is possible only if each team member (1) knows the rules, (2) understands their purpose and (3) agrees that they deserve compliance. Only when all else fails is discharge justifiable--and then the burden of proof rests on the employer.
