This is an issue. She didn't do her job correctly. He was right to chew her out! Your defending her for doing the bare minimum for her job. She knows she was lazy in her efforts so she deserved it. Now the delivery of the chewing may or may not have been appropriate but we weren't there.. he was. At the end of the day, our society has allowed half ass work and we are all accepting and just happy to have something but at the end of the day she needs to do her job and do it correctly. Stop giving participation awards for just showing up for work!
