Rationale 3: There is apparently an inconsistency in discipline that should be investigated.
Rationale 4: If this situation goes to court, the hospital could be found liable for the actions of the manager.
Rationale 5: The HR director should not categorize this employee as a problem until a full investigation of the situation has been conducted.
