Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
At the same time that this shop owner has become fed up
with his foreman's abusive attitude toward the other
employees, the same foreman's wife is in the hospital,
dying of cancer. It seems the only option is to fire the
foreman, but at a time like this? Your advice, from the
perspective of an unattached observer, is requested.
