* During this past month, we have several issues that have arisen that resulted in the termination of employment for certain Team Members. One was terminated for theft of property. Three others were terminated for sleeping on the job. Please remember that you as a Team Member, Team Leader, Supervisor, Specialist, Assistant Manager, or Manager can do something to help prevent these individuals from being terminated for these types of issues. Remind them that they need to stay busy in order to stay awake. If you see someone trying doze off, talk to them in order to help keep them awake. However, if you have someone who is sneaking off and hiding behind something to sleep, you cannot help them. Also, if you see someone who indicates that they may or have stolen something, remind them to consider that they may lose their job because of this. Is what they are taking worth losing their job over?
