He admitted that he was firing the many because of the sin of one. That is not only unchristian, it is bad business to discard good workers because of what another person did.
We forget that big money and Christianity are sometimes in conflict. James 5:1-6:
Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
What is more is that “one” caught him doing something wrong and exposed him. I don’t care if that “one” did something wrong in the way he exposed it. The truth was told and the truth hurts.
This aint Jr-Hi where the a class clown makes a smart remark and everyone tee-hees but no one owns up to it. Especially not in this guys company!
He admitted that he failed them by not enforcing the known guidelines in the published employee handbook, and that a course correction was needed, and had been made at his (the boss) level. He may have employees quit because of this but I bet the ones who stay have a clear idea of what the boss expects and will tolerate ass far as e-mail/internet shenanigans on company issues.
Im not speaking to his profit motives or his heart condition. The story was written from the disgruntled worker/liberal rag reports point of view trying to cast him in a bad light and use his "christianity" against him. He may be a total a$$hole to work for and his greed may send him straight to hell, but that is not for his employees, me or you to decide.
If you dont like the working conditions, stand up on your own 2 feet and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
The employee doesnt get to say how the boss is The Boss. Next thing you know, we will have the inmates running the asylum.

He’s a business owner, he can do what he wants. He should have given them all a good crack to the teeth and a boot in their ass before he sent them out the door. Wanna screw around at work? That’s what you get.
