There were 100 things the company COULD have done. Certainly firing the girl for cause wasn't the appropriate thing to do. She was a damn smart cookie; she just couldn't get her work done by the deadlines with this guy hassling her all day long. They weren't even LOOKING for a replacement for this guy so they could fire him. You can't possibly be defending the company's decision to fire the girl?
And Dion, there are many, many, many people that will just go find a new job than go through the hassle of filing a complaint with the labour board. It takes a LOT of your time and a lot of effort to document your case. Even moreso if she were to file a wrongful dismissal suit. I haven't seen the woman since the day she was fired and maybe she DID file a complaint and I just never heard about it. But knowing her and that she didn't have a whole lot invested in this company (ie pension), it was probably easier to find a new job and start again.
