I'd go with option E: lock X in the broom closet until they learn some manners. No more problems with tardiness or aggression after that!

I'm torn between B and C. Reducing X's hours could be an effective temporary measure, but the formal warning paper trail is also important. Hmm, maybe I'll just flip a coin!

I'm going with D. An informal chat and apology might be all that's needed to get X back on track. Why go straight to the big guns when a softer approach could work just as well?

I agree with you. A warning might make X realize the seriousness of the situation.

But what if X doesn't take it seriously? Maybe a formal warning would be better.

I think D is a good idea. X might just need a reminder to behave better.

I disagree, I think A is the right choice. A formal letter stating immediate dismissal if the behavior continues will send a strong message and prompt X to shape up or ship out.

A is too harsh, I think B is a better option. Giving a formal warning will give X a chance to improve.

I think B is the best option. A formal verbal warning with a record on file will hold X accountable and make it clear that the behavior needs to change. Keeping it on file also provides documentation if further disciplinary action is needed.
