Which Side Do You Want to Argue on this One?

August 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

We could pick either side and argue all day on this alleged one.

I don’t want to say any more. Just look at this one and ask yourself how you would examine it from each perspective below:

  1. Business Process Management
  2. Governance, Risk and Compliance
  3. Business Rule Management
  4. Intelligence Quotient
  5. Free Will and Self-Determinism
  6. American Pioneering Spirit
  7. Hawk
  8. Dove
  9. Civil Liberties
  10. SOA

I threw that last one in there just to be funny. I think.

    I am arguing from a common sense approach. An approach that should suit both sides enough to move on. Why fire the guy? After 30 years, this teller has a lifestyle that only longevity in a company will allow. You think any other bank he goes to is going to give him nearly the wages he had enjoyed previously. A CEO can just move on and find a better wage, but this will probably dishevel his life and finances for some time. Is this worth the small benefit that the bank gets by proving that they stick to their policies and procedures which allow for zero variance to standard operating procedure. Geeze let the business world have a little bit of flexibility. Slap the man on the wrist and make an example of him in the monthly newsletter. The bank doesn’t have to use him as a scapegoat to show what happens when you deviate from the mean. When a human being is being faced with a life or death situation, or thinking wow nothing like this has happened in my boring 30 years of running deposit and withdrawl slips, the last think they are thinking is rational. I just can’t figure out why the world can’t take a step back and just act natural for a minute.
