To be fair, an employer has three choices in matters like this, when they are public...help, ignore, or cut bait. They all have ramifications, but only one really hurts and that is what the White Sox are doing now.
Helping might not work, but you can say you tried.
Cutting bait leaves that person behind, which could be a wake up call, or make it worse.
Ignoring the problem doesn't do anyone any good. That's the problem I have currently.
