In the more extreme instances of employee misconduct such as stealing, sleeping on the job, or cursing management, certain clauses in the Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct should state that such behaviour is a serious violation of workplace rules and violation will result in immediate dismissal. This, in addition to testimony of a witness (or even video), should provide sufficient proof for dismissal.
work is pretty slow right now. we're not sure what we're supposed to be doing -- the senior foreign counsel mentioned things that we might be working on yesterday but we haven't actually gotten anything to do. we asked the guy who showed us around yesterday but he said he didn't know either (he's a first year legal assistant) and he seems to reading a magazine at the desk next to me. everyone else is on MSN talking to their friends or answering the phone. our internet wasn't working for a second so i was doing my chinese homework all secretly since its either that or read a book about contracts (which would put me to sleep). all in all though, everyone is nice -- i'd be fine not doing anything as long as i didn't always feel bad not doing anything, you know?
