only fair, IMHO
If that was the case, it's about time that some of these bullies are brought to book for their cowardly actions. Too many times are employees made the scapegoats for the total incompetence of people using the misnomer of 'manager' or 'director', many of who could not manage or direct their way out of a paper bag.
It will be interesting to follow this case's outcome.
If anyone has an update, please let us have the details.
IMHO !
