Answer:

A proper documentation process stipulates the conditions for firing and resignation. If this provision is not met, managers should not fire their employer and employees should not resign even though they get a better offer elsewhere.

However, conditions differ in the case of "at will" employment.

Explanation:

What that Frank noticed within thirty year of service where managers had almost complete freedom to fire workers is called "at will employment".

It is not advisable for managers to fire workers at will for the following reasons:

  1. 1. It hinders communication in the workplace as a workers will tread too cautiously.
  2. 2. It will retain incompetent managers at the detriment of the entire company.
  3. 3. It will cause poor retention of quality staff.
